Poker Books

[ForthThistle]

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...

Although books help with learning poker, nothing beats watching the video sessions on sites like card runners, where a pro will talk you through every hand.

problem with Card runners its a bit exspensive for you casual amateur

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)

I tried Pokerstrategy.com.                  its free to join

They train you to play tournament, sit and go or cash tables

You do  a test to see if you have learned their techniques

If you pass they give you $50 to deposit on any of the top sites

v nice

Many thanks folks for the feedback so far.

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
