The answer obivously depends on what game you want to learn more about. General books on poker that I enjoyed a lot were:

Ace on the River by Barry Greenstein
The Making of a Poker Player by Matt Matros

I have my best friend here, we regularly play poker every week with other friends for happy time cash. And it already been for years. Quite recently, he always dominate and swept all cash in each and almost every round. It happened just in recent weeks, i don't think he is 100% depended to his luck on this miracle because my other friends and I always had the 'best hand'. He just won with his efficient strategy. So we asked them, what is his secret. He said he bought this 47$ poker strategy e-book and do what the book told. At first, we didnt believe them until he prove his miracle skill by winning cash almost everyday on poker online, just this evening. Sadly he dont want to share the ebook with me, but he did give the link lol

Are you specifically looking for a "teaching" book or just a good read?

I thought "The Professor, the Banker and the Suicide King" was an interesting read and non-poker related "Bringing down the house". Might be a light reading alternative to the rest of the books.

There are so many great books. Thank you for the suggestions. I will definitely buy one because I am of the opinion for me as newbie it is important to read such books.

When will Matt put out a Starting Hand Chart for playing NL games same as
he did for Cash Games. Considering playing some SNG games at the local
Hard Rock Casino in Tampa FL. It's a 20 min drive.


Does the Cash Games Starting Hands also apply to playing in a casino.

For strategy I've enjoyed Harrington on Cash games Volume 1 & 2. Also Sit'n Go Strategy by Collin Moshman.

I also enjoyed Every Hand Revealed by Gus Hansen and Mike Caro's Most Profitable Hold'em Advice. (for leisure reading)

[jameseigenmann]

Why don't you try Barry Greenstein's Ace On The River, The Theory Of Poker by Davis Sklansky, Phil Hellmuth's Texas Hold'em (Collins Gem), Teach Yourself Visually: Poker By Dan Ramsey those are the worthy to read and apply for me.

You mean same as he did for Limit games? Not possible. The closest someone has come, I think are Sklansky/Miller in No Limit Theory and Practice, and Harrington in HoC.

Considering playing some SNG games at the local Hard Rock Casino in Tampa FL. Does the Cash Games Starting Hands also apply to playing in a casino.

It's not clear what you mean. What are the "Cash Games Starting Hands"? His limit cash game starting hand chart are not applicable to NL SnGs. For that you should read Moshman. And yes, they are applicable to live as well as online play.
