I've been playing texas hold em for about 3 or 4 months online, or with my friends nothing big. Which books would you recommend to get, and in what order, because i can probably only get one at a time. Thanks a lot!

Super System by Brunson or winning at low-limit hold'em by Lee Jones. Get more then one book.

I would suggest that if you want to play Limit Hold em and you have never read any books get Hold em poker ( not the advanced version just yet ) by David Slansky or Low limit hold em by Lee Jones.

I would say that the Theory of Poker and Super system are probably better purchasing with your winnings from the knowledge you gain from Slanksy and Jones

KaBuKi,

I think you should buy More hold em Excellance by Lou Kreiger and read it a few times. Then get Real Poker the Cooke Collection.
Hold off on Sklansky's HEPFAP or HEP untill after you have a firm basic understanding of the game.

I got em all and I think those two are your best bet.

get them at <www.conjelco.com>;

if you cant afford the 50 bucks these two books will run you. you should be playing nickel dime, quarter max.

yes it will help raise the lamp to the right height so your eyes wont go bad while studing a more basic poker text.

read and understand a more basic text first. then you will have a firm grasp on what is didcussed in TTOP.
