Hi all,

The last couple of months I read a bunch of poker books and also wrote reviews on them.

Most of them are poker instruction books, but some are biographies or non-fiction stories. I try to write the reviews as critical as possible. So when I don't like it, I will argue why and vice versa.

Gus Hansen - Every Hand Revealed
Nice and fun read, but I think most players won't learn much from it.

Barry Greenstein - Ace on the River
About the life of a professional poker player.

Bob Ciaffone - Omaha Poker
A good book for players, who want to start omaha. Experienced players shouldn't read this.

Rolf Slotboom - Secrets of Professional Pot Limit Omaha
A more advanced book on PLO.

Anthony Holden - Big Deal
Anthony Holden - Bigger Deal
The story of a British writer who wants to be a poker pro. The first time in the eighties and the second time after the poker boom in the new millennium. Many interesting background stories.

Danny Ashman - Secrets of Short-handed No Limit Holdem
Book written by a high stakes online player. Gives insight in the factors influences decision making during poker.

Dan Harrington on Cash Games Volume I
Maybe this book is suitable for live players, but for online play this book contains a lot of non-optimal advice.

Nolan Dalla & Peter Alson - One of a Kind
Biography on Stu Ungar. A story of growing up in Manhattan, gambling and drugs.

Ian Taylor & Matthew Hilger - The Poker Mindset
A book on the right attitude for playing poker. I really liked this one.

I hope you appreciate and like these reviews.

thinly veiled affilate site advertising itt. i cringed while reading the review for ace on the river. for my favourite poker book to be slandered in such a way by a clueless small stakes player with a website

bad advertisement is the best advertisement

It's true that I post the reviews here too, to promote the reviews on my site. I try to write the best I can, and I write it in my blog, so I don't consider it spam.

For all those who read it and reply here, I still appreciate it even if you don't like the reviews and I respects everybody's opinion on them.

You make some good reviews and articles. I'm a 25NL player and I think they are pretty well written. Maybe they arent as interesting for higher stakes players but w/e
