Wanna read some books:

[DerPapst]

I started playing poker 2 Month ago,
sice than I try to spend at least 2h a day with it...

To really get behind the game i want to read some Pokerbooks now, i prepared a list:

1. NL Holdem: Theory and Practice (David Sklansky)
2. Sit´n Go Strategy (Collin Moshman)
3. Harrington on Holdem 1-3
4. Phil Gordons Little Black/Blue/Green Book
5. Doyle Brunson
6. Theory of Poker (Sklansky)

Can I read this boks in that order or should I buy some other books or read them in another order?

Thanks for answering,
Papst

By the way:
I want to concentrate on NoLimit SnG´s/MTT´s!

I want to read it at last because i like Brunson and im interested in what/how he writes,
do you think the rest is fine?

I think they are a good choice. I have most of these and am in the middle of reading Theory of Poker (Sklansky). Have Sit´n Go Strategy (Collin Moshman) ordered. Looking forward to it.

Try and take the reading slow and make sure to take it all in. Makes a huge difference.

HOH is a very stong series, easy o understand and put into practice and sure to bring up your ro for mtts by leaps and bounds.
I would read those first then attack the slansky theory books and Phils little books. I would also try to focus your time on mtts first, then sngs when you get a handle on mtts so that you can learn the game before sngs warp your mind.

SS is a great book and I recommend it too everyone, people dis it because he doesn't write any EV equations and talks about ESP. Which by the way I wouldn't be surprised if he was right and science has no way of measuring right now. I think SS2 would probably be better because it has games that are more up to date.

For concentrating on NLHE MTT/SNGs:
I'd definitely recommend starting out with the HOH series. Very useful concepts/well explained/accesible/just very good. From that I'd move on to PNL, since whatever form of NLHE you want to play, even if you never really want to play cash, it will still help immensely. After that, if you want to specialise/semi-specialise in SNGs, then check out Moshman's (though I haven't read it, it's got a decent reputation & there aren't many others on SNGs)
After those 3 then there are many books "worth a read" - TOP is useful, though not as essential as many make out. Super System 2 is useful if you want an interesting read & consider learning other games. There's a lot of other decent books. I haven't read Gordon's but I've got the impression they're not highly rated.

Forget Brunson. TOP is never a bad idea, but obviously neither Holdem nor tournament specific. Add Poker Tournament Formula to your list, and possibly also the Full Tilt guide (although I haven't read the latter yet.)

Here's how you should do it:

1) Read Harrington 1
2) Read Harrington 1 again! You will be suprised how much you already couldn't remember.
3) Read Harrington 2
4) and again: reread Harrington 2! Work through it. Understand it!
5) Play! Play! and Play!
6) read and solve Harrington 3. If you cant... start reading the first 2 books again.
7) Read "Sit´n Go Strategy". Thats hard stuff! Harrington is easy and much more logical than Moshman. But Collin rocks and his advice works!
8) Read "Little green book" for fun! Its well written but will not give you any more tipps.
9) Forget the rest. Why? Sklansky is good but not what you need. Believe me, i own (and read) all his books
(You might want to try "Tournament Poker for Advanced Players"...). Brunson is not worth the time. Snyder (as proposed) no good for people that have read Harrington.
19) Try these instead (for fun nothing else):
- The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King
- Your Worst Poker Enemy
- Positively Fifth Street
- Ace on the river

Hope i could help you.
