Hey guys.
I am wanting to buy a few books especially of David Sklansky and i have noticed that he has alot where he updates all the time.
And from what i have seen some books are basically updated versions of the others.

Here are the books i can order but need to know if any of them are revised versions of the other book or if they have taking one book and put it into a updated book.

The Theory of Poker
Small Stakes Hold 'em
Tournament Poker for Advanced Players
No Limit Hold 'em: Theory and Practice
Hold'em Poker: For Advanced Players
Poker - Texas Hold 'em
Seven Card Stud: For Advanced Players
Getting the Best of It!
Sklansky on Poker

Cheers guys.

I think you can skip Poker - Texas Hold 'em, because most of that is absorbed into HPFAP.

I haven't read Getting the Best of It! or Sklanksy on Poker, so I can't really comment on those. I'd suggest that you define an area or game that you're most interested in, because they are different topics.

Sklansky on Poker is the book to buy if your getting into Razz. So if you play Razz, or are looking to play Razz Sklansky on Poker is very good, but if not its not worth getting.

Razz is only about 1/3 of the book , the other 2/3 has poker essays that deals with all forms of poker. It is a good book. Also to the op, Theory of Poker is a must have.
