scorcher2003 · Jan 27, 2016

Dont care what subject of the game, just want to see what people think. I'm reading a few books. I want more on dealing with cash games, but as I said. All are welcome. Thanks

Let There Be Range - cash game book
Pot Limit omaha poker - The Big Play Strategy - cash game mostly but some ideas for tournaments
Every Hand Revealed - tournaments
The Professor, The Banker, And The Suicide King - poker in general, but about cash games
Tournament Poker And The Art Of War & Machiavellian poker strategy - mostly tournaments but good uses in cash as well

This is a good mix of books that will allow you to see poker in many different lights. PBSK isnt even a strategy book but will allow you to see poker in a different way, it actually helped my game a little

Happy reading.

OK, so another question on the same topic.

If you had to pick one book that helped you the very most with poker overall. What book is that?

Thanks for all the useful info.
