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.

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?

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!

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..
