Default Re: Best book on hand reading, ranges etc

I found that Largay's book was quite good at giving examples on reading hand ranges - i.e. there was a statement where Largay mentioned if a guy was a big book reader, then you can expect him to play like a book - raising in early preflop position means he likely has AK, AQ or large pocket pair, etc...
I took Largay's advice and started a poker journal and I make it a goal to write at least one entry per session - whether it be a hand I played in or just an observation that I learned. If you do this, you'd be amazed at how much faster you are learning all the little nuances of the game.
Just yesterday, I was in a game at the casino and I saw a guy in early position limp in with pocket aces... he flopped a set, check raised the turn.. of course, you can't quite put him on top set just by that but I noticed a lot of little mannerisms that screamed out to me that he had a big hand: he tried to look very casual, almost bored,...he made a brief speech prior to betting and he looked away after he made the raise... those are little things that I would not have picked up before taking Largay's advice.
