Do you know which top poker pros that read poker books and recommended them?
I collected top 20 poker pros via The Hendon Mob rankings under "All Time Money List" then google searched the player's name + "reading list". I wasn't getting the results. However, I do see some players authored their own books.
I'm sure there's a recommended list offered by the pros somewhere out there, heh.
I may be mistaken however, I believe that most pros actually DON'T read books.
Many of the old school guys have probably read the basics like Theory of Poker, Supersystem, Caro's Book of Tells, etc.. when they first started and over time, they just built up their game from playing and talking about hands with others.
Many of the pros who have written books haven't read many books themselves. They just decided to put their thoughts into print.

Alexonmoon recommended both of Tipton's books, Mathematics of poker, and Janda's first book (that was before the latest came out ; I'm sure he would recommend the latest).
At least for mathematics of poker there is 0% chance this book will ever be outdated.
