Poker Books - Is there such a thing as outdated? Which ones to read?
Hi everyone,
I am regularly grinding 10NL zoom at stars and playing live 1/3 at crown casino, Melbourne. As far as learning and educating myself in poker, I have read Phil Gordon's 'Little Green Book' and registered to RIO and watched videos/active on the forums.
Someone locally was selling a bunch of poker related books at a steal (even if I didnt use them, I could probably re-sell them for thrice the amount I bought them for). I have listed the books below:
The Poker Player's Bible - Lou Kriieger
Why you lose at Poker - Russel Fox and Scott T. Harker
Phil Gordon's Little Blue Book - Phil Gordon
Hold 'em poker for advanced players - David Sklansky and Mason Malmuth
Read 'em and Reap - Phil Hellmuth
Harrington on Hold 'em Vol 1 Strategic Play - Dan Harrington
Harrington on Hold 'em Vol 2 The Endgame - Dan Harrington
Harrington on Hold 'em Vol 3 The workbook - Dan Harrington
Kill Phil - Blair Rodman
In the Money - Antonio Esfandiari
Caro's book of poker tells - Mike Caro
The book of bluffs - Matt Lessinger
Beyond Tells: Power Poker Psychology - James Mckenna
Championship Hold 'em Tournament Hands - Tom McEvoy & T.K Cloutier
Super System: A course in power poker - Doyle Brunson
Super System 2 - Doyle Brunson
No Limit Hold 'em: Theory and Practice - David Sklansky & Ed miller
Making the final table - Eric Lindgren
Two books that arent on this list that I have heard is very useful is the Theory of poker and The mental game.
Now thats a pretty long list. I am guessing that a lot of it are probably books that are not even credible and I should maybe even avoid cause it might have an adverse effect on my game. I guess my question is which books should i open and which should i put away?
Another concern I had was whether there is a such thing as books being outdated. I've read that books like super system can no longer be applied in today's game because of how long ago it was written. Is this the case? Can the fundamental teachings of these books still be used as a framework for poker in game we play today?
Keen to hear your thoughts.
