There's much you should read, but not much to read on reading people. I've been playing for about 5 years and I'm just starting to get a LITTLE better at it. I'm convinced that the ability to put a player on a hand a large percentage of the time AND act accordingly, is the most important and most difficult skill to acquire in poker. How many times have you called a bet on the end, and in your mind you're telling yourself the exact hand that your opponent turns over 3 seconds later. It's frustrating, but at least you're half way there.

I think Nolan Dalla is working on a book about Stu Ungar. I'm not sure when it will be published. I understand a film is being made about Stu Ungar. I'm not sure of the details, though Michael Imperioli and some other guy from "The Sopranos" are supposed to be in it.

1st- have read that book about stu will soon be published. watch Card Player for ads.

2nd-if you don't know about pot odds and drawing odds, you should.

3rd-yes, reading players can be good, but may not be THE most important now.

4th-there are many things a newer player needs to learn, but you probably will need to ask more specific questions.
