Re: What was the Best poker Book published in 2007?
[ QUOTE ]
Unless someone beats me to it, I am going to go on Amazon when I get home from work, put together a list of books supposedly coming out in 2008 (so yes, Daniel's book will be included) and make a post dealing with what people consider the most anticipated poker books of 2008. [/ QUOTE ] Hi Doc: Just so you know, it's our policy at Two Plus Two not to list on Amazon until we have an acceptable manuscript in hand and are confident we can meet our announced publishing date. So even though we have books scheduled for 2008, none are as yet listed on Amazon. Best wishes, Mason

Re: What was the Best poker Book published in 2007?
What’s the best book? That’s an awfully broad question. Answers will depend on what people get most out of the books they’ve read and they’ll give their opinions without reading all the books on the list. So a lot of it will depend on which books they’ve selected to read and they could have missed the “best one”.
Then there is the fact that some people read to learn - good for them - and others read just to see if the author agrees with them. If the author doesn’t agree with them, then it’s a “bad book”. The best part of the answers to this thread may be that we’ll get a demographic that shows just what the forum members are reading these days. In one sense, the “best” book is Sam O’Connor’s “How to Dominate $1 and $2 No Limit Hold 'Em” because it contains unquestionably the best rhetoric of any poker book, ever, and it is both informative and entertaining. It’s an easy read. Also, at 416 pages it is the best volume buy ($22.50 at Professional Poker). The book stresses playing people and, while confusing at first, it’s like a good wine; it finishes nicely. Dominate holds the best value. Some members will be looking for something else. Other books will be selected according to what games, and at what levels, forum members play. We’ll have answers from those favoring books on small limit and those who read books on high limit (Tanenbaum?). Then there are those who play no limit. They will choose a book that either fits their formulaic approach (PNL perhaps) or the psychological approach (maybe Your Worst Enemy). Then there are the tournament players who will have a completely different group of selections (Harrington?). Anyway, by finding out what people are reading and what it is they like, we’ll find out what members are playing these days. And at what level they read and play. This is a good thread.

Best wishes, Mason [/ QUOTE ] Mason (may I call you Mason?), I thought about this before you posted and I had this thought. I am going to include Harrington On Cash because I anticipate that it is going to win and to leave it off would be a major omission. I am going to make a provision for other unknown 2plus2 books by including a category Any other 2plus 2 books. I am going to post a disclaimer that this is an unofficial list and inclusion on the list does not indicate a book will see the light of day in 2008. Good idea?
