I am not a huge poker book guy but I have read a couple and thought I would leave my suggestions in this thread.

"Theory of Poker" by David Sklansky was the first poker book that I ever read. But I agree with the posters above that it is probably not the best book to read if you have never read a poker book before. Amazing and eyeopening though, the bible of poker etc, an absolute must read for any serious player.

I based nearly everything about my poker game off that book. And added to that foundation by posting and reading a lot in forums and watching training videos.

The other two books that I have read and recommend deal less with actual strategy but I think they are of equal importance, especially if you plan on being a professional poker player.

From a live perspective, Barry Greenstein's "Ace on the River" is a fascinating look at how the poker industry works, what it takes to succeed and thrive over the long haul.

From an online perspective, Dusty Schmidt's "Treat Your Poker Like a Business" offers many of the same lessons for the online grinder. The kind of dedication and attention to detail that it takes to make it as a professional online poker player.

Hope this helps.
