Small Stakes Holdem & Getting Started in Holdem by Ed Miller

Even more great stuff from Two Plus Two Publishing! Ed Miller is a young, smart (MIT graduate) player who quickly moved up in the cash games ranks. He has teamed up with Sklansky and the crew at 2+2 to produce these excellent books. You will benefit from his sound poker knowledge as well as his recent experience in the small stakes ranks of poker players. Small Stakes Holdem will help you tear up the small stakes games. Getting Started in Holdem is also fantastic, even if you have been playing a while. Check out the reviews at the links below.

Harrington on Hold’em – Vols I & II

Normally, it takes a while for a poker book to become regarded as the best in its category. In the case of Dan Harrington’s recently published back to back volumes, however, they became recognized as the best available almost immediately. If you play tournament poker, you must buy these both Volume I and Volume II and devour them. Your competition probably has!

Theory of Poker by Sklansky

If you found this website, then you probably know about Sklansky’s classic Theory of Poker, but we would be amiss if we failed to recommend this “must have” work, acknowledged by many professionals as THE book that was most influential in their success as a poker player. Sklansky’s Theory of Poker ranks right up there with Brunson’s “Super System” as one of the two most influential poker books of all time.

While you are at it, you should pick up Sklansky’s Holdem Poker for Advanced Players also. Play less, read more, then win more. It works.

Super System and Super System by Brunson

Unless you got to our website by mistake, you probably already Super System and/or Super System II on your bookshelf. But, if you are a poker player and don’t already have one (or both) of them, shame on you! Along with Sklansky’s Theory of Poker, Brunson’s “Super System” is recognized as an all-time Poker Classic.

Phil Gordon’s Little Green Book

Buy this Book! An instant classic recommended by the likes of Howard Lederer and Annie Duke (“In our minds, this book is an instant classic and a must-have for any serious student of the game. Everyone who reads it will come away a better player.”) Easy reading, but very profound, this is far from the dry theory books (all excellent) which abound today. Phil Gordon’s book is the best Poker book I have read in a very long time!
