mattyfresh87 0 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Just wondering what you're favorite poker book is. Link to post Share on other sites
greatwhite 0 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 The Theory is mine, but why didn't you just ask for our favorite hold'em books? With the exception of a few they are all just on hold'em. 8) Link to post Share on other sites
Airabus 0 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Small Stakes Hold'em. How did that not make the list? :shock:Otherwise. Harrington on Hold'em is my pick. Link to post Share on other sites
greatwhite 0 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Small Stakes Hold'em. How did that not make the list?I'm wondering how the Theory didn't. That's the best book on poker in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites

No Great book, but Small Stakes Hold'em can turn anyone into a winning player just by following the ABC's.I do see your point though. Link to post Share on other sites
choic 0 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I don't think anybody has read The Little Green Book???Unless you're a friend of Phil Gordon. Link to post Share on other sites

LuckyMcCatcher 0 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 This is a weird poll, because literature is mxed in with how to books. Also tournament books ar emixed in with cash game books. Its hard to say that one is an overall favorite. Link to post Share on other sites

commoncents 0 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 what about TJ's Championship NL/PL Hold'em? i thought it was alright Link to post Share on other sites

Macint0sh 0 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Okay, SSH, not on the list, TOP not on the list.I say the poll is void. Torch the OP. Charge! Link to post Share on other sites
CormacD 0 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Get Helmuth's book off there, add TOP and SSHE. And if you're putting literature on the list too, gotta put Biggest Game in Town on there. Link to post Share on other sites
AceOfSpaiDs 0 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 its hard to narrow the books down to 'Best Poker Book' cuz a lot of books are targeted at different games/players. Brunson's SS1/SS2 is my pick, cuz it has a wide range of games, and good strategies. However, Harringtons Holdem might be just as useful, but his style of play is completely different from Doyle's (aggressive vs tight). A book that wasn't on the list but a very good book for Low Limit Holdem players is Lee Jones 'Winning Low Limit Holdem' or refered to as WLLHE. Peace Link to post Share on other sites

Aggression and tightness can't be compared against each other because they are two separated entitites. Both players are tight but Doyle plays his draws way more aggressive.

LuckyMcCatcher 0 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 They are not usually target for any particular style either. They have a style they want you to adopt. Link to post Share on other sites
happyjuggler0 0 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 If you are going to list Aces and Kings.I am also not sure how you can skip Ace in the Hole, although I have never read it. Link to post Share on other sites
greatwhite 0 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 If Phil Gordon's Little Green Book makes this list then you might as well put on Ken Warren. But seriously you are forgetting the Theory, the best book on general poker. Link to post Share on other sites
