So you want suggestions for 'tournament' (nlhe) books?

If so,
Winning Poker Tournaments - One Hand At A Time vol. 1 & vol.2

Raiser's Edge

(these 3books are the best by far, especially if you've already read HOH stuff)

Kill everyone
easy game
Poker maths that matters
Don't listen to Phil Hellmuth -- haha that is fun.

Daniel72 · Jun 20, 2013

The most entertaning book in my opinion is Gus Hansens "Every Hand Revealed" and you can learn a lot poker stuff too, but its more for live poker. Its not nerdy, its not boring ! He audio recorded almost all his hands from his 2007 Aussie Millins victory (Jimmy "Gobboboy" Fricke was 2nd place !) and wrote a very good book about it.

AvaloNNN · Jun 20, 2013

Yeah try Elky's '' The Raiser's Edge'', a good book.

hique0411 · Jun 24, 2013

Many thanks for the tips guys, I'm reading "Every Hand Revealed", a very interesting few days. Thanks for the tip Daniel72.

Poker Orifice And I'll take a look at that stuff you told me too because I found very instructive!

Thank you all!

I started reading the same book Daniel72 recommended and I'm enjoying it. What I enjoy about it is that its different in many ways to conventional books. Yeah you can read some theory then try to apply it in a game, but a very important factor is the manner in which someone thinks on the spot. Poker players are human and many people would probably be surprised with the simplicity of what is going on in one of these pros head. I think a lot of what makes a poker player profitable is his consistency in doing these simple calculations/logical conclusions.

edge28 · Jun 28, 2013

+1 for the Raiser's Edge. Def recommend Elkys book

marcumx · Jun 28, 2013

there are some interesting ones for free if you have a kindle and amazon prime

BomTombadil · Jun 29, 2013

There are many good ones. This has been mentioned already, but if you play tournaments and/or SNG's you really should read Kill Them All. If you really want to learn I'd recommend reading every poker book you can get your hands on. Also, don't just blindly follow any poker author's advice. Think through what they say and apply concepts to your game that you fully understand and that make sense for the particular game you find yourself in.

fan_diaz · Jun 29, 2013

I will look for "Every hand revealed" I love the way Gus play poker and it will be amazing to read it.

Thank you. That was a good answer. I'm absorbing a lot of information with some new books that had not read and I'm able to manage what I learn in my game.

And so this helping me a lot!

Unless you are blessed with photographic memory, you should probably re-read the books you have. I am currently on my 4th or 5th reading of the HoH books, and it is amazing what I am getting out of them now. It's almost like I never read them before.

If you are blessed with photographic memory, the library is where you need to be.

muckaveli · Jul 1, 2013

Ive only read two poker books so far

Crushing the microstakes by blackrain
And poker mindset (dont remember author)

I recommend both of them...although poker mindset had loads of great content....it was pretty repetitive...felt like I was being hypnotized/programmed

I guess thats how you know its working...lol

I have heard lots of good things about "every hand revealed" so thats what im going to read next...its always better when its free...

@dj11 what is HoH books??

dj11 · Jul 1, 2013

HoH = Harrington on Holdem. His Tourney Series (3 books, 2 essential), are must read. Many will say they are outdated now, but for a good solid approach to MTT's, they set the standard.

They are set up in small lessons, making them the best read for can-time reading.

AcesUp747 · Jul 2, 2013

"The Poker Mindset"

Its not a strat book, but really helps with the mental aspect of the game. How to deal with swongs, etc.

muckaveli · Jul 3, 2013

I will def check out the HoH books ..I actually already have them in pdf format..just have not yet read them....I have over 200 poker books in pdf format that i purchased off of ebay...if anyone is interested...hit me up

No limit holdem theory and practice - David sklansky, Ed miller

This is definitely worth a read as it helped my game out a lot.

Enzo1089 · Jul 8, 2013

I've recently picked up Phil Gordon's Little Green Book. It seems like it will be a quicker read, being that there isn't that much content on each page, but what content is on the pages has helped my game since I've began reading it. I've learned a few things regarding poker from this book. Just as a heads up though, it focuses on No Limit Hold Em. I'm actually kind of surprised this book hasn't been mentioned on this thread yet.

Since the OP has read the Harrington books (your next step, BTW) he will probably find Gordon a bit remedial.

You have to read the Doyle books. Why? Just about everyone has! So, if you do not know what is in there, you will not know what they might be practicing from it! Plus, it's called the "poker bible" for a reason.
