Doyle Brunson’s Super System: A Course in Power Poker.
Doyle Brunson’s Super System II: A Course in Power Poker.
Doyle Brunson
When Brunson unleashed the first volume of this series back in 1978 the man himself claimed it was the greatest poker book of all time. Almost 30 years later pretenders have come and gone but Brunson’s classic (along with it’s follow-up Super System II) have more than stood the test of time. While the contributor’s sections are brilliant, it’s Brunson’s own take on no-limit poker that really shines.

The Theory of Poker

Not exactly light reading but if you want to come to terms with pot odds, implied odds, the value of position and timing the perfect bluff then look no further than Sklansky. Every great player in the game uses at least some Sklansky in their game – whether they know it or not.
