Balloon guy 158 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 What is the single best poker book, AFTER Play Poker Like a Pro, you've read that has helped out your game?fypI would say: Play Poker Like the Pros.But only because it was the first time I read any strat whatsoever, and it gave me the insight to play a tight aggresive game.Now that I am a beast at the tables, I find his book entry level etc. But for a person that knows next to nothing, it is excellent Link to post Share on other sites

Shark527 0 Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 First book I ever read was Hellmuth's. Read a good handful of other books also. Have not read Harringtons but everyone says they are a must have. Trying to play more limit these days and just finished Low Limit Hold'em by Lee Jones. Would anyone recommend any other really good limit books or just better than Low Limit? Link to post Share on other sites

Fade2241 0 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I found that watching pros play, going over hands in strat forums n paying more attention to position and peoples betting patterns helped me way more than any book. Sure, HOH is good but it ain't gonna take ur game to any kinda great heights...neither will any other book, for that matter. JMO Link to post Share on other sites

SCYUKON 0 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Don't bother with the Books. They will screw you up. Really.Ooh - I am just bitter. If you want a great book for low level limit holdem, try out "Holdem on the Come" by Rolf Slotboom. Book deals entirely with drawing hands and gives you a system to estimate the final pot size depending on the number of players and pot size at certain streets, so you can evaluate if you are getting the right price to go after your draw.

JoblessBast 0 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Another vote for Harrington on Holdem V. 1-3Are Harrington's books good reads for those who stick strictly to cash games, or are they pretty much just tourny strat?I've heard he has one or two books devoted to cash games coming out soon... definitely looking forward to those.
