Poker books

[EsandWhizz]

Iv just cleared a bonus and am now being offered my choice of five books from 2+2. What books would people recomend i get. I play 50nl soon to be 100nl 6max. Thanks for any advice.

Theory of Poker
NL Theory and Practice
Professional NL
Harrington 1
Harrington 2

And yes I'm recommending directly from my bookshelf.

That was quick. Thanks. Think il just go with those. Iv heard Harrington is a must read but wasnt sure about what else to get.

Theory of Poker is a general overview book - how to think about the game.

Next two books are dedicated to cash NL

Last two are tournament NL, but are very comprehensive, with a ton of insight into Dan's thought patterns throughout a hand. They helped me as much as any book has.

Although some would disagree, I really took alot from Psychology of Poker too. Super System is a pretty decent read, but it will screw you up beyond comprehension if you don't have a firm grounding in NLHE strategy beforehand.

I think he is referring to the 2+2 bonus programm and Super/System is not among the possible choices.

OP, the 5 recommended books are all very good, but you might want to consider getting Sit'n'Go Strategy from Collin Moshman if you plan on playing STT. The Theory of Poker is a must read, but I would read a couple of other books beforehand.

Thanks for all the advice. Theory of Poker is top of my list. Im a strictly cash game player at the moment as im trying to build my roll and was thinking about getting Small stakes hold em as im playing 50nl. Is it worth getting? Iv read supersystem and all i got from it was to be aggressive and C-bet alot. Iv learned more from being around these forums.

Small Stakes Hold'em is a LIMIT hold'em book.

I'm no poker god so take this for what it's worth but Super System is over rated from a NL hold'em perspective. Just my worthless opinion.
