gbmills 0 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I'm currently a recreational Holdem player looking for some reading material to take my game to the next level. Id like some books on poker strategy, Poker math, and relative poker material to help me. The Poker Blueprint - Tri Nguyen has been reccomended, any reviews on that? Thanks in Advance.

nutzbuster 7 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Obviously Doyle's Bible and the Harrington series if you are novice, but much of that strat is getting left in the dust by the new styles. Online sites are thought to be best to get better these days. Link to post Share on other sites
Balloon guy 158 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 For a person with no knowledge of poker, or at the highest levels, Phil Hellmuth's Play Poker like the Pros is the best guide ever. Link to post Share on other sites

Id like to know pot odds, fold equity, poker math/percentages, and advanced poker theory. ive heard that a lot of books are a little outdated so any newer books give the best results?

PocketAcesA5 6 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I've read quite a bit and my favorite author is Mike Caro. My favorite book is Caro's most profitable hold em advice. F'n (Mad) Genius. If you want a good story read Matusow's autobiography. There's no strategy but good side book to read on his life story. I had a 10 minute conversation with him on the phone a while ago, hard to talk to but I guess I still like him, ha. Link to post Share on other sites
aucu 3 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I just picked up, Analytical No Limit Hold'em by T. Bakker, was expecting more math.The specifics of a book arn't that important for me as long as it makes me think about my game more. Link to post Share on other sites
