Poker Books -- Parts 1 thru ??

There are lots of poker books out there. More and more every day. The poker boom during the past 3 years has increased the mainstream availability of poker books greatly. B&N etc now have racks of poker books for sale.

Be careful. Quality varies greatly! Many books are excellent and some are terrible. Some are well written and understandable and some are tough to get through. Some are very theoretical while others offer practical "how to" advice. Some try to be all things to all people and cover all games, all limits and types, while others are specifically written to one specific audience.

This series will offer comments, opinions and recommendations on many of the poker books. I will only comment on books that I have read.

Tentative outline looks like this;

Part 1 -- Introductory - Your FIRST poker book.

Part 2 -- Essentials - The best of the best.

Part 3 -- Limit Holdem

Part 4 -- NL Holdem

Part 5 -- Tournaments

Part 6 -- Other Games

Part 7 -- General

Part 8 -- Essays

Part 9 -- Fiction

Part 10 -- Historical

Part 11 -- Some Others


If there is one or more of these "Parts" that can be handled better by someone else, I am going to find that person. For instance, I have not yet read "NL Theory and Practice" by Sklansky and Miller. So; I'm looking for someone who has read this, to write the NL (cash game) Part.
