Poker related but no strategy (other than some great heads up matches):

The Professor, The Banker, and the Suicide King

A great, well written read makes you feel like you are in the Bellagio.

Story about the biggest games ever played between a billionaire Texas banker and the top pros....

I am sure it is still in print. Go to 2+2 publishing and you should be able to find them.

I just checked and they are all still available at 24.95 through the site. Perhaps you could search Amazon or some other internet book seller and get them cheaper.

The Theory of Poker. Hands down.

by **MecosKing** » Sun Sep 04, 2005 4:36 pm

Agreed.

That is pretty much the bible of poker. Even though it doesnt deal a whole lot with holdem, the principles in that book are the ones on which everything in the holdem books are based.

I have been reading "The Psychology of poker", The book is in my gym bag which is in the garage but I think the Author is Shoemaker, with some help from Sklasky. Good book worth the read.

The Theory of Poker teaches you why you are doing things that the other books are telling you to do. The Theory of Poker doesn't teach you what to do in a situation, it teaches you what to consider to come up with the correct decision. Really, I re-read the book like once a month, I really don't think any other book is close or ever will be.

Am i the only one that thinks 'Killer Holdem' by John Vorhous is a great book?

Its not the theory of poker, or HE4AP, and doesnt purport to be. It deals alot with general principles, gambling psychology, table image, 'winning attitude', reading players, and things like that.

As an extra bonus, the section where he does an internal monologue of the various types of players is just plain goddam hilarious-- i dont think a book has made me laugh out loud like that since i read 'notes from underground', which was probably about...*wince*....9 years ago now.

What should I read next?
