I have some "fidelity points" to spend on a poker room and I'm going to buy some poker books. I need your help to choose the better books out of the total offered so I will add a poll with the titles.
I've read very few articles about poker cause I'm lazy and when I've free "poker" time I can't resist from playing. But now I want to change and want to be better ......... in poker of course
Every suggestion and help will be very very appreciated and I would like to see your argumentations about books you read or you somehow know
ty all
PS: correct me if one of books I mentioned are not about cash games cause I'm plannig to do similar thread for SNGs and MTTs

Thias is possibly the best poker book ever written Arnold Snyder,poker tournament formula, its not like most poker books written by pros playing against pros. Its written for the average joe so who wants to better his/her game and thats why it is so useful. honestly, this is a great book. I know its not cash but its still worth getting. I have had several tourney cashes compared to an odd 1 here and there before i read it. Its that good to you Mr.Snyder

Power Holdem Poker - Daniel Negreanu should be on your short list as he is defo 1 of the best (all time great) but other than that supersystem is a great read for a beginner (dont know where you stand) the others i havent read so sorry cant comment.

Posted by ZmxPowah: I would take Negranu book... i always like to know how he thinks.... But till now i didn't read any poker book... maybe i should go and find some...
yeah, he is definetly very intersting. but i guess Harrington is best to learn with as you are not too experienced

C'mon guys I need somemore suggestions to make my choice: -ATM there is an Heads Up between Harrington Holdem vol 1 and 2 (they are two separate books to be precise) and Power Holdem Poker both with 15 votes - Doyle Brunson's Supersystem 2 follows with 7 preferences - and I'm still taking in consideration Small Stake Hold'em-MillerSlanskyMasonMalmuth with 5.
About supersystem 2: what do you think? Do I eventually need to read Supersystem first and then the number 2? I would have guessed it should be a must for a poker player on the contrary I am discovering I was wrong

Id say take care about negreanu's book, i wouldnt think its for begginers, but for experienced players, and even then it has to to fit well your style and your way of thinking

heads up between harrington and negreanu hasn't got a winner yet is it is so I will have to read three books.....too much for me as I had never read one (about poker I mean )
