Message: [QUOTE="Poker Orifice, post: 1224877, member: 33113"] [COLOR=black]Great first choice of books!!! Phil's books are a good read imo and provide the reader with a good base to work from. His Little Blue Book is also worth reading.[/COLOR] [COLOR=black]I would suggest reading the Harrington On Holdem Series for your next go - Vol 1 & 2 (Tournament Play). [you should be able to pick them up thru your local library via an 'inter-library book loan'... but if not, they're worth purchasing as they are the type of books you'll want to read more than once although they are very well laid out, not overly technical etc. You'll want to read & review Vol.2 especially - the End Game. This is a good book that plugs many leaks of newer NLHE Tournamente players (ie. "I seem to get into the money in lots of tourneys but I never am able to place very high in them" - - a commonly heard story... one that Vol.2 will help with considerably).[/COLOR] [COLOR=black] [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]If you decide to branch out more towards Sitn'Go play, you can't beat Collin Moshmann's book. SNG Strategy. It is considered as "The Bible of SNG play" on the 2p2 forum. In my opinion for sng's it is without parallel. If you play SNG's and are a break even player, I would guarantee that reading/studying this book will improve your game by ROI +10% minimum (and if you're fairly new to SNG's (under 100games or so) I think this book would improve one's game 100%). Prior to reading this book, I had read a zillion (okay... let's just say 'lots', lol) strategy articles on playing SNG's, had watched quite a few trainging videos and many,many HandHistory posts. I was basically a break-even player in 9-plyr. sng's... perhaps ROI+2% in the longrun. After reading this book my ROI soared to +27% over a 3mth. period. [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]If you play SNG's... get this book. It'll pay for itself in one session.[/COLOR] [COLOR=black]There's a free e-book online for SNG play,.... beginner to intermediate stuff,.. basically just a decent grounding for the game. It is called "Comedy Of Errors" and is around 20+ pages.[/COLOR] [COLOR=black] [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]All suggestions above have been in reference to 'tourney-style' play of NLHE... I'm assuming this is what you are looking for. If cash game is your preference, there are other better books for this out there (HOH has a series on Cashgame play also, but there are other Cashgame books that other's would perhaps recommend over them).[/COLOR] [COLOR=black]Another thing you could read for playing 6-maxNL is Ryan Fees 6-maxNL Strategy Guide (a free e-book found at [URL="http://www.ryanfee.com/"]www.ryanfee.com[/URL] ).[/COLOR] [COLOR=black] [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]There are tons of books out there these days for NLHE tournament play. I think I've personally read well over 30 of them now in the past two years and have a bit of a collection on my shelves... although a few of them seem to remain out on the coffee table still.... one being Moshmann's SNG book & another being "Winning Poker Tournaments - One Hand At A Time" by Rizen, Apestyles & Pearl Jammer (I wouldn't recommend this book until after reading Harrington Series... it is geared mostly towards play at the highest MTT buyins online).[/COLOR] [COLOR=black] [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]I'll pm you with info. on "Comedy Of Errors".[/COLOR] [COLOR=black]GL on the tables![/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
