Books on Poker

This video will probably just be interesting to poker players. Dan Harrington is perhaps the best author on Poker out there. His cash game books will probably be great resources, and his tournament book is invaluable. Sklansky is good, particularly for limit books. Card Player must be retrieved from casinos for free, do not pay for it! Most importantly to know though is that many people (most) shouldn’t be playing poker and do anyway. Read “Your Worst Poker Enemy” by Alan Schoonmaker if the game is bothering you. It will help you make rational decisions concerning poker on many levels, including whether it is wise to continue playing. This book saved me a lot of money, and it can help you control your emotions. Don’t take advice from a losing player unless you are one, and if you are, listen closely: Consider quitting! I accidentally left out Super Systems. I found the book to be interesting and vital if you are into the history of poker, but not very strategically important. You’d better read it if you are serious about the game, to understand fast players like Brunson, but it isn’t a very good book for beginners.
