Title: Poker Books Post by: ForthThistle on September 19, 2009, 10:38:32 AM Hi all,
Im looking for some guidance on Poker books. I only play MTT's and S&G at around the $5-$20 mark. Been playing for around 3 years but feel i need to educate myself to further my poker ability. I have read Harringtons but appreciate that i need to learn more. I never seem to go deep in MTT's and feel as if i don't take enough risks at the correct time. If anybody has any books lying around i would be delighted if you could PM me. I will of course return these in the same condition i receive. Much Appreciated Forth Thistle...

as for MTT I find Tight aggressive play works most of the time in the early stages I can recommend Jo Navvaroo read em and reap for live play (all about body language but its very accurate) Title: Re: Poker Books Post by: The-Crow on September 22, 2009, 10:26:57 PM I tried Pokerstrategy.com. its free to join

Title: Re: Poker Books Post by: Dale on September 24, 2009, 12:45:09 AM Collin Moshman's SNG Strategy book is decent if you haven't studied much with regard to SNGs before.
A lot of the examples in the book are pretty contrived and I could pick more holes out of the book but it's pretty decent at getting across basic early/mid/late game strategy for standard 9/10man sngs. as for MTTs, look for a book called Winning Poker Tournaments One Hand at a Time, it's a book full of MTT hands with strategy/reasoning for each hand by rizen, pearljammer and apestyles |
