Having some problems with picking up new book to read, and the biggest problem where to order it. Usually i order books from Pokerstars and already got 4 books:

1) Winning poker tournamnet at one hand

2)  Kill everyone

3) The mathematics of poker

4) Kill Phil

Also read HoHs 3 volumes, Sklanksy. What else guys? What is really worth reading and should be useful for sure? And If there is no such book in stars vip store where I can order it?

the two best place for poker books is .

 

…..poker.com/

which is also conjelco store, and two plus two store, but i order from here for all my poker books needs, it will be the premier place to order the forthcoming harington on six max online cash games, due out about june 15, give or take a week.

 

…..m/home.php

is another place to get poker books and keno and horseracing books. 

 

i went with professional poker for the shipping to canada was cheaper.

Amazon is a great place to find books. New books are usually cheaper then other places but they have a lot of books offered in the used section at very discounted prices. I was able to purchase Super System I, II and TheMathematics of Poker all for around $15 with shipping. Sure the books look like they have history but the price was perfect. Another option if anyone has one would be the Kindle they have a good selection of Tournament books available.

I always use Amazon as well… and just get the lowest priced book seller with a solid rep… and it will save you a few bucks off each book you get

Mike Matesow's auto bio..check raise the devil was an entertaining book… imo.  It doesn't give u any strategy advice but it does talk about life away from the poker table, and what money and success can do to you if your careful.

+1, also the winning poker tournaments series that features pearl jammer and other good pros.  Best tournament strategy book imo.

Collins' book is a great read.  Also a must for the low limits is Small Stake Hold'em.

The Theory of Poker is a great place to start. Anything by Sklansky will do you good – he's the boss..

The Poker Tournament Formula by Arnold Synder.  Its a different perspective for sure.  I like getting different view points and this book along with TPTF2 are great getting a different view point… ….

I wanted to mention my favourite book:¨ The litle green book¨ by Phil Gordon

I enjoyed and felt i improved my game with every reread.

It looks like a basic one but u can always get some advice from it on how to think about the game.

PD/also the video who come later: ¨final poker table¨ was a entertaining and quality1 thought the book is much better.It took me 1.5 years to realize that it was a fake tournament,i did really believe it was a live tournament 🙂

The first two books I read when I started the adventure of poker were Phil Gordon's blue and green book.

Ebay is always a great place for discounted books.  Be sure to buy from the higher feedback buyers and be sure to read the condition statement, or email them for condition.  I have bought 100+ books there (not all poker related) and have never had a problem.  If you only want new then Amazon is usually the place to go IMO.

1. Kill Everyone

 

The best book I've read on forms on tournament poker. I've read the Rizen/Pearljammer/Apestyles books. I thought they were excellent until I read Kill Everyone. I can not reccomend it enough.

Last year I took a 7 week break from poker to go off and do a long distance walk. I took Winning Poker Tournaments One Hand At a Time Vols I and II in my rucksack and read them both several times. When I started playing again my results went through the roof, you can easily see the exact moment I returned to the tables on my Sharkscope graph.

At the moment I'm reading Kill Everyone, it is excellent, highly recommended.

Buying these books is a very good investment IMO, much like a TPE subscription your improved results will repay whatever you spend several times over.

I have read just about everything out there but the absolute best book I have ever read to date, and had the most impact on my poker life, was The Poker Mindset by Ian Taylor.  Absolute must read and I wish that I had read it in the early days of of playing.  I have read it twice now, and I am due for a third go around since it has actually been about 2 years or so since I read it.

“Treat Your Poker Like A Business” is a good read.  Its more cash game focused in some parts, but it talks about things like having a comfortable workspace, bankroll management, balancing life and poker, etc

 

So its a good kind of nuts and bolts kind of book.
