Most of the more popular poker books should be available in the library. You can take a few out for a couple of weeks and see which one you like best.

It really is difficult to decide. Everybody who ever won a poker tournament has a book out, and each writer has a different way to describe things.

You have to decide which makes the most sense to you.

That I know of Pokerstars and Fulltilt, but you have to have points and then buy it on the VIP store.

Don’t buy a book, there’s a wealth of info on the Internet. But you’ll have to be very tenacious and disciplined to not loose that £50 quid to start off with. Your favorite site while your learning should be http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/ The holy grail for any poker player. This will be more useful then any book imo!

If you’re really serious on a book, then you need to first decide what sort of games your going to play? Cash? Tournements? Single Table tournments? (Different books for different games)

Generally research the following.

Bankroll Managament
Table selection.
Poker stats VPIP/PFR/AGG/3bet
Opening ranges
Gap Concept (Not understanding this is far and away the biggest way beginners loose money initially.)

Download the following

Poker Tracker 3 or Hold’em Manager (HEM is better imo)
PokerStove (Free)

Use the following websites, when your not playing poker.
Pokertableratings.com
officialpokerrakings.com
sharkscope.com

I am trying to collate alot of this info on my new website http://www.nanostakespoker.com/ for beginners, be sure to check it out and pm me if you need any help with any of the above. Need some ppl to test it out on.

Also. If you do anything in this, Research “rakeback”, it will save you soooo much money!!!!

Be Lucky!

So basically I want a book on limit hold’em poker strategy designed for consistently taking small amounts of money from weak players. Can anyone reccomend anything?
thank you Judas (!), do you know where I could buy that Lee Jones one in London, I’ve also heard about it and by the title it sounds fairly ideal…

Best answer:

Answer by JudasHero
Depends what games you’re playing exactly, but here’s what I’ve heard is good:
Super System 1 & 2 (Doyle Brunson)
David Sklansky’s Theory of Poker and Hold Em Poker (Sklansky is consider THE expert on anything poker, especially in regards to theory)
Internet Texas Hold Em (Matthew Hilger)
The Complete Book of Hold Em Poker (Gary Carson)
Hold Em Excellence: From Beginner to Winner (Lou Krieger)
Winning Low Limit Hold Em (Lee Jones; this one has been recommended to me many times since I also play low limits)

Hope that helps.

Also, just looking up strategy in general will give you a lot of great tips. There are lots of great articles out there, many by professional players, completely free.
