| Re: Poker Books
Assuming he's a beginner, I would recommend one of the following.
Hold Em books (these are geared toward limit but are helpful for either Limit or No Limit):
- Small Stakes Poker, Ed Miller. I loved this book. I have not read Miller's other book, Getting Started in Hold 'em, but I heard it's pretty good.
- Internet Texas Hold Em, Matt Hilger. This book suprised me. It was pretty well written and easy to read and covered a lot of the basics everyone should know. This book can be helpful for folks that may have trouble understanding certain poker concepts.
Hold Em book geared to no-limit tourneys:
- Harrington on Hold em vol. 1, Dan Harrington
No-limit or pot limit poker:
- Pot Limit and No Limit Poker, Stewart Ruenen and Bob Ciaffone. Though this book assumes you know how to play hold 'em already. Geared on NL/PL only concepts like controlling pot sizes, 5 & 10 rule, etc.
Good theory book, but not the easiest read:
-Theory of Poker - Skalansky
Check out Amazon. They have the best selection, good prices and even some reviews. Good luck.
