“Read ‘em and Reap.” The power of the tell is invaluable.

Sklansky books are great for learning the ins and outs of poker.
The Harrington on Hold Em for Tournaments are great.

I think sklanksy has the best beginner books but I don’t think its enough anymore to be a consistent winning player.
Doyle Brunson, Super-Systems and Super-Systems 2. It really sets out the philosophy and thinking behind aggressive play without being a maniac idiot. You should read it once, play alot then read it again. I think he’s book is must read for any cash player and also his got some of the best explanation of small ball strategy around.
Ah also one more…. Matt Lessinger is great primer for bluffers.

Harrigton on Hold’em Volumes 1-2-3 are the best over all.
You can download them for free on the internet.

I suggest all three volumns of Dan Harrigton’s books. Also, I highly recommend Barry Greensteins’s “Ace on the River”. His book looks at more than how to play but also on how to be prepared to play poker.

I have a big poker library, I love to learn and see different point of view of other players and how they picture the game. I like several of them, so it’s had to pick only one. I guess Ace On The River is one of my favorite, because B. Greenstein explain and show a different side of the poker world. Of course for obvious reasons I like Super System 1 and 2. I really like also: The Biggest Game In Town. Aces and Kings. The professor, The Banker and the Suicide King. One of a Kind. Phil Gordon’s Books. D. Harrington’s Books. D. Sklansky’s Books…..And many many more.
