Default Re: first book to buy

Yeah, I read the book of bluffs. Its just illustrates how a good level 3 or level 4 level thinking is very valuable. Then it describes a lot of situations where it applies, but thats against thinking opponents. I.e. Not 50NL and below.

HOH1-3 are all good. TOP, NLTP are great. I would say SSNL for AP (the red book) is good too because of the math and starting hands, but if you read mathematics of poker its just as good.

Phsycology of Poker is good if you are going to be playing live.

My first book was Super System 2, and i haven't read it in a few years, but i remember it being decent.

pr0cast's anthology is great to be honest. Much more applicable to the 6max games, and covers some important topics more in depth than i've found in a lot of those books. So read the books, and read the posts, and then reread the posts.

I will say that my reading comprehension is fairly high, and only after reading each book more than once did i start picking up on a lot of the really good points of the books. So read them like text books and no leisure books.
