Default Re: getting the best of it / gambling for a living / gambling theory a

Getting the best of It is the greatest book when it comes to learning about EV and mathematical expectation. It's also where you will find the classic "the 8 mistakes of poker" which Largay expanded into "the 12 mistakes of no limit holdem".

Gambling Theory is where all the stuff about Standard Deviation, fluctuations, and non-self weighting strategies first showed up. The section about poker tournaments is probably still the best book on the subject, believe it or not.

Gambling for a Living covers all of the gambling games in which you can potentially make a living playing including poker. The poker part is very introductory, IMO.

The first two are worth it. The last one is probably not required reading.
