And also, someone who has been playing professional as long as you say you have, why would you need to come to a forum to ask which books to read? I also would think that you could teach him poker faster and easier than he can learn from a book.

I know you played LIMIT, but if you played all of those years, you surely have an excellent poker sense. I learned NL shortly after going pro as a LIMIT player, read LGG, and picked it up with little effort.

While I don't doubt your story about wanting your kid to learn poker, I doubt that you state what you say you are. And I also find it hard to believe that you never picked up a book, never learned other forms of poker, and never splashed around in tournaments.
