I have the following books:[list]Brunson - Super System 1 & 2Cloutier - Championship No-Limit & Pot-Limit Hold 'EmHellmuth - Play Poker Like The ProsJones - Winning Low Limit Hold 'EmMalmuth, Miller, Sklansky - Small Stakes Hold 'EmSklansky - The Theory of Poker[list]I admit that I haven't read any of these books thoroughly but now I have some extra time that I would like to dedicate to poker and I was wondering if anyone has some suggestions as to which order I should read these books in? Or maybe there are some books missing that I should read before these? Any suggestions?As background info I have been playing NL HE for about 6-7 months now mostly in home games and some online.

If you're playing in tournaments, you NEED to have Harrington's book.

burn Play Poker like the Pros, serioulsy do it. Get Sklansky on Holdem. Then you should throughly read all the books you have before you buy anything else.Read Sklansky Teaches holdem first, SSHE, Then TOP. Then you should be straight to read SS, and actually comprehend and apply what he says

I have the videos from Caro, is this the same material as is in the book? I am having a hard time finding his book here in Germany. :(Both Harrington's and Sklansky's (on HE) books are on the way now from amazon.de.
