Poker Books

I've played poker for quite a few years now. About a month ago, the home game that i've run for about a year and half began to break up, mostly because the people i play with are tired of me winning all the time (now, i'm not bragging, because i'm not really that good, rather the people i play with are really bad). I rely mostly on my ability to read people and not so much on math. However, recently, as i take on better competition, i'm losing more often, and i'm pretty sure my very average understanding (average at best) of the math and stats within the game are to blame. I went to a bookstore and checked out some of the books, but i couldn't decide on one. Can anyone recommend a book or website that i mostly play limit and no limit hold em, so these two would be my primary interest does a good job going over the basic ground level math and stats in poker? Like most people. But, i do like Omaha and Stud as well, hell feel free to mention a good book or web site for any game...........i love them all.

  • Live play or on-line?

    Jeff Hwang's Omaha book is a decent start to the game.
    Angel Largay has a decent starter for NLHE cash game play
    Harrington has 3 EXCELLENT tournament books, and his cash game books are well reviewed.
    FULL TILT tournament guide (something like that, anyway)
    Moshman for SnG's

    That should be a decent start.
  • Super System. PAPA Doyle Brunsen is a good book. There are some chapters written by some of the top Tournament and Cash players in the game..
  • I would go with the newer Super System II. At least it has the advantage of not being written in the 70's . . .

    And you still get Doyle's original treatise on NLHE in SS II
  • I was not aware that #2 was out. Shows how much I go into book stores.
    If you watch any of the poker on TV High Stakes poker on GSN. You can learn a lot just from watching the pros play. If you can handle listening to Jessie May giggle every 20 seconds Game TV has the poker million running on it or watch the mules they have on Premier League Poker. I personally just turn the volume down...
