Recommended books for my level

Recommended Posts

Poker books in my country are quite hard to come by, and the bookstores that do carry them mark the price up by quite abit. Thus I decided to use some of my Stars FPPs to redeem two 50 GBP amazon.co.uk gift certificates. Did some research and this is the book list that I came up with: 1. Phil Gordon's Little Green Book: Lessons and Teachings in No Limit Texas Hold'em - Phil Gordon 2. Professional No-Limit Hold 'em: Volume I: 1 - Matt Flynn 3. Harrington on Cash Games: Volume II: How to Play No-Limit Hold 'em Cash Games: 2 - Dan Harrington; 4. Power Hold'em Strategy - Daniel Negreanu 5. Harrington on Cash Games: 1 - Dan Harrington I'm also thinking between: 1. The Theory of Poker: A Professional Poker Player Teaches You How to Think Like One - David Sklansky and 2. No-Limit Texas Hold'em: A Complete Course by Angel Largay for the final book. Also wanted to get Hold'Em Poker for Advanced Players (Advance Player) by David Sklansky and Mason Malmuth and No Limit Hold 'em: Theory and Practice by David Sklansky and Ed Miller but I can't get it directly from Amazon.co.uk so it can't be shipped to my country. For someone like me who has been playing online for a year, and with approximately half a year of experience at Full Ring NL100, did I choose the best selection of books to help me improve my game? Do suggest titles that you strongly feel are useful, and also books I have chosen that I would not find to be as useful as the others. The few books that I have already read are LBB by Phil Gordon, Winning Strategies for NLHE, Every Hand Revealed, and Psychology of Poker by Alan Schoonmaker. For those who want to recommend the Super System series, I did not include it as I feel it touches on the other variants too much, but if you feel that the NL section is very good, do let me know too. I'll probably check out some online coaching sites in the near future too but I'm the kind of person who prefers a book over watching a video on the computer so i would like to start with some books first.

Re: Recommended books for my level For coaching, a couple of suggestions: - deucescracked give a free trial for 7 days (I think) - if you cancel in that time, then you pay nothing (you have to give credit card details up front - but IMO they're trustworthy enough) - during your week you can download as many videos as you like, with no DRM protection. - FullTilt give free access to Cardrunners and/or stoxpoker based on how many points you earn per month - you dont "spend" your points on this - so it really is "free" if you play on Full Tilt. With the stakes and volume you play, you should get it quite easily. - Also worth a mention is the "Full Tilt Acadamy" - I've not done it yet, so dont know how good it is (or isnt) but the idea looks good - gives you lessons, followed by challenges based on the lessons and then monitors your play at the tables against the challenges. You get points for completing challenges which can be exchanged for books, for example ;)
