muttley Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I'm always on the look out for new titles, so I wondered if anyone has got any recommendations? I've just finished Endgame Poker Strategy by Dara O'Kearney, and thought it was pretty good. My all time favourite poker book is Exploitative Play in Live Poker by Alex Fitzgerald. It's an easy read and helped me a lot. For beginners I still think Harrington on Hold Em is the place to start. It's a bit outdated, but a great introduction to the game.

LIKE2FISH Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 As I mentioned the other week, all of Dara's books are great, I have them all. I love mental game of poker, I have 1 &2, prefer 1. The 100 Biggest Mistakes That Poker Players Make by Alex Fitzgerald is something I really enjoyed too, I got that on audiobook. muttley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian309 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I have Moorman's Book Of Poker by Chris Moorman, very good. Every Hand Revealed by Gus Hansen, again very good. For Richer For Poorer by Victoria Coren, not particularly a strategy book but an excellent read nevertheless. The Mental Game of Poker by Jared Tendler, which I assume everyone has either read or heard about I've also read quite a few autobiographies by poker players, the most memorable being by Mike Matusow.

muttley Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 I was disappointed in Chris Moorman's book....not least because he didn't call it "The Book of Moorman"....It was him commenting on another guy's hands, rather than revealing his strategy. I recently reread the Gus Hansen, Every Hand Revealed, and it's still relevant. I thought it might have dated, but it's still good. The only autobiography I've read is Devilfish, which I enjoyed immensely, but it made me realise that I could never be a top poker player. ian309 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that one too. I'll always remember him saying, "If you want to win big, you've got to risk big" or words to that effect.... maybe that's why so many professional poker players repeatedly ended up going broke.

muttley Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 My favourite book in the past was always Easy Game by Andrew Seidman, but I imagine it's a bit dated. Same goes for Doyle Brunson's Super System, which was groundbreaking in it's day, but old hat now, I read the Jared Tendler The Mental Game of Poker, and enjoyed it, but I'm not a tilty player, so it was of limited use. Maybe I should read it again. Other authors that I have found useful are Ed Miller, Jonathan Little an, as mentioned earlier, Alex Fitzgerald.
