Re: How many poker books have you bought so far?
The Supersystems are the best fo strategy I would think but that we talking without knowing of any other newer books out there.....Is there a new book out there that can take the title of the "Poker Bible" like the Supersystem is? If so I gotta grab it...used lmfao!

By the way, if you ever want recommendations on non-fiction books on business, social psychology, personal growth, etc... , just pm me or ask me on this board.

I generally stay away from a hardcover because of the dustjacket. If I do buy a hardcover, the dustjacket has to be taken off in order for me to read because it gets in the way.

Re: How many poker books have you bought so far?
I have only bought four books so far. In Germany you donīt have a wide range of Poker-Books than in the USA for example.
What do you think which Books are some MUST-HAVE for an online Player?

Re: How many poker books have you bought so far?
I have 33, read all of them. Mostly focused on NLHE Cash, with a little bit of PLO. Every time I travel I make sure to buy a new one for the airport/plane.
While most of them tend to repeat information in slightly different forms, I'd have to say that my favorites so far have been:
Strategy:
Professional NLHE (Flynn,Mehta,Miller)
Small Stakes NLHE (Flnn,Mehta,Miller)
Analytical NLHE (Bakker)
Playing the Player (Miller)
Other:
The Poker Mindset (Taylor)
The Mental Game of Poker (Carter)
Ace on the River (Greenstein)

Re: How many poker books have you bought so far?
About 20, i posted in another thread the ones i liked the most and also helped me the most in my game, but gotta say that currently, Playing the player, Secrets of Professional Tournament, Mental Game of Poker, Treat your poker as a business, the psychology of poker and harrington on hold em are my favorites and have helped me improve a lot, also recommend for SnG player SnG strategy of Moshman, really good book, with that you nor only will win at SnG but will have an easy run in the satellites for tournaments.

Re: How many poker books have you bought so far?
First book I purchased was "The Theory of Poker" by David Sklansky and although it took me a while to get through it, I found it to be an excellent read.
Second was "Read em and Reap" by Phil Hellmuth and Joe Navarro. This book more than paid for itself the first time I played after finishing it.
Third and Fouth are the "Harrington on Cash Games" Volumes 1&2.
I just stared volume 1 last night and am looking forward to getting more into it.
Cheers!
SC

Re: How many poker books have you bought so far?
I'm at about 35 books. I just counted 28 in my collection at home. I've given away at least 4 that I can remember. I have 4 e-books on my computer. I have 1 that I am just starting to read. 1 e-book I only skimmed. 1 PLO work book I did not finish. Other then that I have read them all. Many of them several times. I rotate them on them on the back seat of the toilet to scan while, "dropping the kids of at the pool."
I believe 2+2 publishes the best strategy books. It's not even close..
