Hey guys,

Pretty new to PKR, registered an account ages ago but the software wouldnt work on my old PC so had to stick with another online casino in 2D!

Anyway, I know the basics but I'm still not very good, can anyone recommend a good book that touches on the basics but has more advanced stuff in it? really want to get good at the game

Cheers

Hey, I have been devouring books since I started playing and I will recommend the following:

D.Negreanu: Hold 'Em Wisdom For all players.
(This is a short book written in really nice bite size pieces. It is pretty basic advice which may well be just what you need. You can read it in maybe a day or two for a quick primer)

The best book I have read which is still quite basic is Gus Hansen's "Every Hand Revealed". It is very well written and presents all the arguments very clearly. Unlike other books which may well tell you "how to play AA or KK" in this book you get to see how he plays all sorts of hands, the AA's, the AJo the 55, the 92o, and see how he reacts to missing the flop and bet sizing etc. Real life examples that I have found to be so much more educational than generic "rules" to play poker.

A lot of people like Harrington's books.
I'm not one of them - but I'm in the minority I think, so you might want to check them out.

Good luck to you,
Lady

IneedUrChips, 15/10/2009 Hehe, just outta bed ,you made me laugh with your wit.
Ok so he's a tournament player i guess, not much into tournaments myself but one book that did impress me alot was 'winning poker tournaments,one hand at a time' by pearljammer and co.
These guys that wrote it are some of the biggest winners online in todays modern game and they give you actual hand history on various hands and situations they encounter on a daliy basis.
Amust read for any beginner and serious tournament poker player.

For once i was actually serious happy

I checked his profile, and he's got no record of tournaments. So it was a genuine question happy

I have to say "Kill Everyone" is a very good book, also has a good indepth ring-game section. Its prolly a more level 2 book, so if u had the 'basics' as u claim, that one might be good happy
