The Theory of Poker by
David Sklansky (1994 Edition)
who want to indicate more books for our friends , let down more options.
So far as the list goes, you can't go wrong with any of the
...for Advanced Players series. Sklansky's
Hold 'Em Poker is an interesting read in that you begin to see how he developed the ideas that would mature in
The Theory of Poker. Otherwise, not real useful in that it's about fixed limit only, unless you're interested in playing a lot of FLHE, but you will have to adjust his recommendations to the way FLHE is played these days. Back in 1976, the ante structure was a lot smaller. Today, most FLHE games are played with a 0.5BB -- 1.0BB structure where the big blind equals the small bet. Back then, that wasn't the case, and the BB was typically smaller than the small bet that rewarded the nittier style the book recommends.
Other than that, I'd also include
Small Stakes No Limit Hold 'Em (Ed Miller) though he covers basically everything Brunson does in
Super System. Also,
Pot Limit 8 Revealed (Dan Deppen) if you're interested in playing that.
more tips -----. «The education of a poker player» by Herbert O. Yardley (1957)
2. «Super System: A course in power poker» by Doyle Brunson (1979) 3. «The biggest game in town» by Al Alvarez (1982)
4. «Improve your poker» by Bob Ciaffone (1997)
Education of a Poker Player is an entertaining read, as Yardley can tell a tale, but useless otherwise.
The Biggest Game in Town is also entertainment only and was never meant to be any sort of strategy discussion. Alvarez admits that the most he got from
Super System was recognizing the players he met through their photographs in S/S.
