I don't think I own/ have read 5 strategy books.
The first 2 harringtons were pretty solid imo, much more to be learnt for free on the internet than in any poker strategy book imo.

Harrington 1 and 2, even though im a cash player there is no doubt these are the most groundbreaking books ever (in poker)
Elements of Poker by Tommy DeAngelo
Professional No Limit Hold 'Em by Ed Miller
And can we count Phil Tuffnels 'how to win poker' dvd?

After Harrington (which you have to read as everyone else has) I rate the Killer Poker series by John Vorhaus, it may not be full of highbrow poker strategy but it does get down and dirty with modern(ish) low to mid stakes internet play. It is also quite well written.

Wow, couldn't agree more. In fact, I didn't realise anyone else agreed with me. |

Elements of Poker by Tommy DeAngelo Never heard of this one. What does it cover and why do you like it so much? |

Gus Hansen's "Every Hand Revealed"
Shows how poker really should be played. When you see the breakdown of his quality hands and see that he hardly had any whilst winning the Aussie Millions you realise what a talent the man really is.
Well worth a read.

Elements of Poker by Tommy DeAngelo Never heard of this one. What does it cover and why do you like it so much? I like it so much because nobody has ever heard of it and that makes me seem special. The actual reason is that I know a few people he coaches who were doing exceptionally well who pretty much forced me to read his book and I wasnt dissapointed. It wont tell you have to play AK under the gun or when you are getting the right odds to set mine, what it is about is all about changing your attitude to the game and controlling tilt. How to view money, how to handle bad beats, how to game select properly etc. Its a bit similar in style to a book called 'the poker mindset' but its written in a very funny style and really gets to the heart of emotional control/detachment at the table. (It didnt stop me from screaming "you f**king muppet" at the screen yesterday when set couldnt beat 7 high last night tho) |
