Just wondering since I think that I have too many. 
Also - please respond to the thread as far as those that are the most useful and the least.

Does that mean that you've never read any poker education books Vince or that you just don't have any now? I know a few people who refuse to read poker how-to books on principle because they're afraid it will negatively impact their game. Quote:

I think that for me it's a tie between three books as most useful so far:
Harrington on Hold 'em volume 1
Super System
Phil Gordon's Little Green Book
Least useful by a long shot is the stupid Antonio Esfandiari book "In The Money" that I read last week. I still can't believe that book got decent reviews.

I really didn't get/learn much from Phil Gordon's Little Green Book, maybe I need to go back and read it again. |

I really appreciate Phil Gordon's writing style. It's relaxed and I feel like he's in the room talking to me almost. I've also picked up his Blue and Black books, but haven't yet red them. Quote:

I have 27 books/DVDs. My favorites are:
Caro's Book of Poker Tells
Caro's Pro Poker Tells DVD
Caro's 12 Days to Hold'em Succe$$ (28-page booklet, only 20,000 printed, and I have...a photocopy of the one from our library)
The Theory of Poker
I take Caro's word as gospel. The man is a certified genius when it comes to tells, and his Threshold of Misery is easily the single most important thing about poker I have ever learned.
And The Theory of Poker is amazing, and one of the only books by Sklansky that is readable. |
