I have been playing poker for some time now. I mainly play live, but I've recently gotten really into online poker. As I've navigated these forums, I've noticed a lot of people talking about books for poker...both for live and online. Am I one of the few who just goes by, I don't know... gut instinct maybe? (Searching for the right word here lol). I've never even thought to look into books for poker whether it be online or live. I don't mean to be the least bit cynical here, but I think that using books for poker may very well just be a great waste of time. Or am I being naive? As I am new(ish) to the whole poker scene.

When playing live, I feel that overall poker skill lies solely in reading your opponent (if possible), and analyzing your cards with the possibilities of other hands when the flop, turn, and river come along. Same with online poker, minus the whole reading your opponent thing. That and there is obviously some luck involved as well.

So I guess what I would like to know is whether or not books about poker to improve your game is really worth it. If it is, what books would you recommend? For those who have already tried the books, has it had a positive bankroll effect on your game?
