poker little green book
poker books?????????????/?
i have $80 dollars in barnes and noble gift cards.
im 16 years old. male.
i want to buy some books on poker. me and my friends play once or twice a week, just small $10 buy in tournaments with usually like 7-9 people. i also play online on Full Tilt, for micro stakes.
i have downloaded on my computer some books but they are a hassle to read. i know that super system*, super system 2*, theory of poker*, poker for the advanced player*, and phil gordons little green and blue books are all good, but i dont know what to get.
***** i have these books on my computer but when i try to read them i get distracted so i feel like i should buy them
i will be ordering my books from barnes and noble.com
also, i dont want to spend all of my money on poker books?
what else would you recommend for a 16 year old that doesnt exactly love to read.
oh i forgot. should i read super system 1 and 2 or does 2 cover both books?
is there any benefit of reading both?
wtf nobody ever answers
Yes, we do answer…
David Sklansky (Theory of Poker and the “Advanced Player” series) may be one of the most boring authors you’d ever want to read. It’s like reading textbooks. Great information but also good stuff to fall asleep by. Super System 1 and 2 are good books but pretty advanced. Again, pretty boring stuff. SS2 is not nearly as good as the original, but it covers more of the games that are played now. 5 card stud and draw are almost gone from regular poker play.
Here are a couple of good “starter” books that are also good reads:
For a good read and good information as well I recommend anything by Mike Caro. He’s a funny guy and writes in a very entertaining style. Easy reads that still have good information.
Another good author is Lou Kreiger. (Poker for Dummies, HoldEm Excellence.) Don’t be put off by a “Dummies” book, it has good information in it. Again, also very readable. HoldEm Excellence is told entirely as a narrative so it’s not just throwing stats and strategy at you. Also the “Start Chart” at the end of the book is the best starting hand reference you’ll ever find.
Finally try anything by TJ Cloutier and Tom McEvoy. Their books have a lot of anecdotes, the writing is relaxed and the information is first rate.
You have some great poker books in your library, they’re just a little ahead of where you are as a player. Try some of these authors but definitely hold on to what you’ve got until you’re “ready” for them.
