I'd like to get a poker book but there's so many out there I was wondering if any of you could recommend them. I've been playing poker since about July 2005, but properly since September, I'd give myself a 3/10 as a player because I've never made it to the final table or into the money on a MTT, but I can usually reach the money on an STT or home game. I'm not that experienced but I have a few good poker teachers!
Any ideas?

Harrington on Holdem is very good if you play tournaments.

Phil Gordon's Little green book is a good poker book as well, I highly reccomend it.

Newmanseye loves the harrington books  They are good if you like p*ssing away all your chips in continuation bets..... Seriously its a good book , but remember, you will need to adapt to a style with which you feel comfortable. Otherwise its a waste of time. |

Poppet just read Harrington Volume 1 really enjoyed it and about to read it again for a 2nd time to take note down as some
detail hasn't stuck first time. But well worth the read, best by far ive read.

I'm glad someone else needs to go back through it too  I was thinking it was a lot to take in in one go! |
