 Hold’em Poker by David Sklansky Updated for today’s double blind structure. Contains the most up-to-date Sklansky Hand Rankings available. Hold’em Poker by David Sklansky is must reading for anyone planning to play in Nevada, California, or any place else where hold’em is offered including a home game. This was the first definitive work on hold’em poker and was originally published in 1976. Yet, it is still one of the best-selling poker books available. The text is designed for someone relatively new to the game, but it still contains much sophisticated material. The text is probably best known for the SkIansky Hand Rankings, which made the game much simpler to quantify and understand. Some of the topics include the importance of position, the first two cards, the key “flops,” strategy before the flop, semi-bluffing, slowplaying, check raising, head-up on fifth street, and how to read hands. Not only was this text, which is Sklansky’s first work, a major contribution to the explosive growth of this game, it is also a book that should still be read by all serious players. Editor note: If you don’t master this information expect to lose a lot of money at this game… period! See also Hold’em Poker For Advanced Players below. 63 PAGES  |
 EDITORS CHOICE: BEST ADVANCED BOOK ON LIMIT HOLD’EMHold’em Poker For Advanced Players by David Sklansky & Mason Malmuth Texas Hold ’em is not an easy game to play well. To become an expert you need to be able to balance many concepts, some of which occasionally contradict each other. In 1988, the first edition of this text appeared.

It is now a new century, and the authors have again moved the state of the art forward by adding over 100 pages of new material, including an extensive section on “loose games,” and an extensive section on “short-handed games.” Anyone who studies this text, is well disciplined, and gets the proper experience should become a significant winner.

This is the definitive work on hold’em and picks up where Hold’em Poker ends. Editor note: This book is my bible on the game. Study this material or perish in the game… period. Must reading! If you have an older edition this edition is worth buying due to significant new material. If you only play low-limit (under 10-20) you may want to read Lee Jones book Winning Low-Limit Hold’em as well. 332 PAGES |
 Poker Essays I by Mason Malmuth This book contains many of the author’s current ideas on poker and related subjects. As is shown, poker is an extremely complicated game. This is especially true if your form of poker is either Texas hold’em or seven-card stud. In addition, the typical opponent whom you will face has gotten tougher as the years have gone by. As a result, those of you who just play tight (also known as playing ABC) are unable to win more than just a small amount at the lower limits. This means that to win at poker in today’s modern game requires not only numerous skills, but also a lot of thinking about the game. Topics covered include general concepts, technical ideas, structure, strategic ideas, image, tournament notes, in the cardrooms, and poker quizzes. In addition, advice is offered on jackpot games, handling pressure, why you lose, fluctuations, bankroll requirements, differences between stud and hold’em, too many bad players, limit versus no-limit, thinking fast, weak tight opponents, the best hold’em seat, playing short-handed, playing loose or tight, appropriate image, being an alternate in tournaments, taking advantage of tight play in tournaments, behaving professionally, the future of poker, and much more. This book is designed to make the reader do a great deal of thinking about the game. ln fact, very few readers will agree with everything the text offers, but the information provided should help most people become better players. Vol 1: 262 PAGES |
 Poker Essays II by Mason Malmuth Success at poker does not come easy. However, poker can be extremely rewarding since it will allow you a degree of freedom that virtually no other profession can offer. Yet, very few people ever achieve this level of competence even though many try. The reason for this is that very few players are able to master all the skills that a top poker professional needs. Some are unwilling to make the effort–“these players usually come to gamble”–and others who try are not quite able to grasp the depth of sophistication that is required. This text contains those essays that this author wrote from 1991 through early 1996. Topics covered include: General Concepts, Technical Ideas, Structure, Strategic Ideas, In the Cardrooms, Quizzes, Erroneous Concepts, and Something Silly. In addition, advice is offered on handling rushes, moving up, poker skills, simulations, maximizing your expectation, betting when first to act on the river, whether limit hold’em should have two or three betting levels, playing the overs, adjusting to the big ante, how to play well, low-limit hold’em, how many hands you should play early in a tournament, chopping the blinds, cardroom theory, and much more. As with the original Poker Essays, this book is designed to make the reader do a great deal of thinking about the game. In fact, very few readers will agree with everything this text offers, but the information provides should help most people become better poker players. Vol 2: 286 PAGES |
