Newbie poker books

danno2you2 · Jan 20, 2009

Hey I dont consider myself a newbie (but I'm sure I am to alot of people) but I'm looking for a poker book to read. I have been quite good at home games and local bar tourney's but I'v just started playing online at UB. any suggestions would be great thank you and good cards every1

it depends a lot on what game your playing,cash sng or mtt? omaha,holdem,stud?Limit,no limit or pot limit?

but if your like the vast majority of new players your playing NL holdem,sng?
Then i would say the Phil Gordons Litle series would be a great start imo.

This thread has great suggestions https://www.cardschat.com/f49/first-poker-books-86485/

Pretty much exactly what Sindri said - you can't go past Phil Gordon's Little Green / Little Blue Book.

They won't make you the greatest player in the world (it's debatable whether any book can do that) but they'll give you everything you need to get started and cut out most of the newbie mistakes.

There are youtube vids if youd like to try something else. Quite a bit of info giving out in videos that try to teach basic strategy.

I like the dan harrington books.

Harrington on holdem
harrington on cash games

both series have taught me alot and they are easy to follow and take in

Harrington!

"Harrington on Holdem" hands down. Great book, there are a few of them too, so if you enjoy the first, move onto the second, etc.

HOH series is great imo but i wouldnt recament them as a first book......

cstorms · Jan 21, 2009

..

was my first book and I found it very straightforward and easy to understand. I definitely recommend it as a first holdem book. (HoH)

Thanks for all the info I went to my local barnes and noble book store and there selection sucked to say the very least... I picked up a book by Collin Moshman called sit 'n go strategy. It cost me 24.95 and I will put a review on this thread. I will look for Phil Gordon's book thanks for your input every1 this site rocks......good cards!!

I have a suggestion: Don't play at Ultimate Bet.

I'm going to recommend you read a book called "Super Users: How Ultimate Bet Ripped off their Players and Destroyed Online Poker." Oh, you'll have to wait a few years before it comes out btw.
