Yes totally agree. I was coming back to include three of your choices. ("weighing and how good" I have not read)
However I will definitely take your word. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: which books would you give 10/10 ?
 

1) 7CSFAP
2) HOH VOL 1&2
3) SSHE
4) TOP
5) REAL POKER II
6) IYP

Re: which books would you give 10/10 ?
 

I suppose I could just give TOP the only 10 because it is the best poker book ever written. Or add a few like HPFAP, HOH Vol 2, and SSH. However, all the books below are great and I can't imagine a poker players education being complete with reading all of the below (at a minimum). Therefore, I guess they all get a 10.

The Theory of Poker
Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players
Small Stakes Hold 'em
Harrington on Hold 'em Volume I
Harrington on Hold'em Volume II
Harrington on Hold'em Volume III
Seven Card Stud for Advanced Player
High-Low Split Poker, Seven Card Stud and Omaha Eight or Better for Advanced Players
Sklansky on Poker
Gambling Theory and Other Topics
Getting the Best of It
Inside the Poker Mind
Poker, Gaming, & Life

a few 9/10s too:

SSHE
HOH1

NLHE:TAP & Mathematics of Poker could hit ten with a good revision in each case

You don't by chance like 2+2 books, do you? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: which books would you give 10/10 ?
 

candidly, i hadn't noticed until your post. the 2+2 books listed are clearly the best poker books that exist. however, there are also some 2+2 books i don't love.

if i was to list good non 2+2 books for you:
Weighing the Odds
Middle Limit Hold 'Em
No Limit Hold 'em theory & Practice
How Good is your Limit Poker
Real Poker II: The Play of Hands

but the 2+2 books i originally listed are better.

Only when Sklansky had a hand in writing it, so it would seem.
