from this thread, im quoting Jelle http://www.liquidpoker.net/poker-foru..._poker_books_helped_your_game___.html

if it werent for his guide thats posted on lps article section i would never have come out of fishdom, although haha, i never read his selection of books except Theory of Poker i did, but if im gonna listen to anyones advice on micro-lowstakes books to read, he got me out of em !

Alright I'll be sure to check all of these out =D Thanks for all the replies guys, I guess I'll leave you alone for however long it takes to read these. Again, thanks for the responses

it is true that alot of books by those old cowboy pokerplayers as i call them really do seem to suck hard, i realize they were mostly written a while back by now, but by todays standards even the (NLHE section is all i can intelligently comment on) updated version of doyles super system (2, released in like 07 or something), and for sure the original, and this tj cloutier book "championship nl holdem", (i think?) was really kind of convoluted and misleading when applied to modern internet poker.

I just ordered The Poker Mind Set as well as The Mathematics of Poker with my FPP. Next in line is Secrets of Short-Handed NLHE, I'll tell you guys how they were

I was thinking the same thing about those actually That's why i asked for recommendations instead of snap buying some guide to being a donk lol. Thanks for the input!

If you want to learn 6-max internet poker a video training site is by far your best bet. For general poker mindset; 'Elements of Poker' and 'Ace on the river' are both great imo.

I also think you should check out these: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/69/...es-memorable-strategy-threads-430489/

Well, I just wanted something to complement the surplus of videos I've been watching. I've probably watched about 200 poker videos already >.<

I'll be sure to check out both of those books shad
