Caro’s
Book of Poker Tells - Mike Caro (£12.99)
USE THE SCIENCE OF TELLS
- AND WIN!!!
If you are serious about winning and you’ve
mastered the basics, you’ll realize most
of the profit comes from being able to read
your opponents. Their body language hides secrets
you never even knew existed! This Book reveals
them to you.
Championship
No Limit & Pot Limit Hold’Em -
Cloutier McEvoy (£17.99)
"Championship No
Limit & Pot Limit Hold’EM" is
made up like a discussion between the poker
champions Tom McEvoy and T.J. Cloutier.
The weakness of this format is that it sometimes
is hard to tell whether an advice comes from
Cloutier or from McEvoy. A great advantage
is that the reader constantly gets two views
on how to play poker the best way.
Doyle
Brunson’s Super System (£15.99)
This book, often referred
to as the poker bible, is truly one of the
most important books on poker ever written.
It was written in 1978 under the original title "How
I Made Over $1,000,000 Playing Poker" by
two-time World Champion Doyle Brunson (1976
and 1977).
Included poker game variations are: Draw Poker,
Seven-Card Stud, Lowball, Seven-Card Stud High-Low
Split, Limit Hold’em and No-Limit Hold’em.
It offers a unique view of how to play no-limit
Texas Hold’em.
Doyle
Brunson’s Super System 2 (£19.99)
Doyle Brunson has, together
with well-known poker collaborators, written
a much anticipated sequel. This book is actually
comprised of many shorter poker books and articles,
which makes it a comprehensive read on overall
poker topics. It is a very good book on general
poker theory and offers something for every
type of player. The advice is accurate and
can also be applied in high stakes games. Good
Omaha sections and definitely one of the best
reads on the market.

Play
Poker Like the Pro’s - Phil Hellmuth (£9.99)
Hellmuth’s "Play
Poker Like the Pros", is mainly an excellent
first read for beginners, rather than a deep
conceptual text. It is a good quality book
for the intermediate player who wishes to quickly
brush up on basic strategy, get understandable
advice, or find one of the few books with meaningful
Omaha strategy. For being a professional poker
player, rather than a writer, Phil Hellmuth
succeeds in bringing out his advice in a surprisingly
pedagogical way, with first-class humor and
clever language. It is a delight to read. To
sum it up, it is highly suggested for all beginners,
but also intermediate players looking for quick
reference work including Omaha and Seven-Card
Stud.
