Winning Low-Limit Hold'em (2nd Edition)

by Lee Jones

First published in 1994, Winning Low-Limit Hold'em has become a definitive reference on playing Texas Hold'em specifically at the lower limits�not to be confused with medium limit Hold'em which is better covered by such books as David Sklansky and Mason Malmuth's Hold'Em Poker for Advanced Players (Advance Player), nor to be mistaken for low-limit Hold'em played at online poker sites. The revised and expanded 2nd edition is reflective of Jones' continual study of the evolving rules of the game. A very valuable resource of the basics of low-limit Hold'em and thus a must for beginners and welcome refresher for the pros, it provides a strong foundation for winning at any 1-4, 3-6, or 1-4-8-8 Hold'em game. 2000 World Series of Poker champion Chris Ferguson says of the book: "If everyone followed the instructions in this book, I'd have to find a new line of work." It is #1 in Amazon.com's list of recommended poker books.

Lee Jones is a Computer Aided Design programmer in Silicon Valley and a consistent winner at low-limit Hold'em poker.

Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players (Advance Player)

by David Sklansky and Mason Malmuth

When the 1st edition of Hold'Em Poker for Advanced Players (Advance Player) was released in 1988, it opened up to the world a game previously only known to a select group of poker players and helped usher in the now overwhelming popularity of Texas Hold'em. A century later, this book's latest version imparts over 100 more pages of new material complete with a comprehensive discussion of loose games and short-handed games. Less for the beginner and more for the advanced player, it helps anyone who wants to become an expert with valuable concepts on play on the first two cards, semi-bluffing, the free card, inducing bluffs, staying with a draw, playing when a pair flops, playing trash hands, desperation bets, playing in wild games, reading hands, and psychology. It is named #1 poker book by Poker Top 10.

David Sklansky is widely considered the world's leading authority on gambling today, having written ten poker books, produced poker videos and articles, and given well-received poker seminars. Mason Malmuth, a full-time gambler and a gambling writer since 1987, has authored/co-authored 12 books on gambling as well as over 500 published articles, and owns Two Plus Two Publishing.

The Theory of Poker

by David Sklansky

Often recommended by top poker pros, The Theory of Poker is considered by many to be the best book ever written on the fundamental theorem of poker. It expounds on theories and concepts applicable to nearly every variation of poker, including Texas Hold 'em, 7-Card Stud, 5-Card Draw (high), Lowball Draw, and Razz (7-Card Lowball Stud). It also touches on the value of deception, bluffing, raising, the slow-play, the value of position, psychology, heads-up play, game theory, implied odds, the free card, and semi-bluffing. Many top poker players, who say that the book has truly made a difference in their play, will tell you that these are the ideas that separate the poker experts from the typical players.

Targetting those relatively new to the game, it is probably best known for the Sklansky Hand Rankings, which helped make Hold'em that much simpler to understand and appreciate. The book discusses the importance of position, the first two cards, the key flops, strategy before the flop, semi-bluffing, the free card, slowplaying, check raising, head-up on fifth street, and how to read hands.

Caro's Book of Poker Tells / The Body Language of Poker

by Mike Caro

Published in 2003, Caro's Book of Poker Tells is a refreshing take on how a poker player's body language can reveal so much that encourages both self-awareness and interpretation. Later published as The Body Language of Poker, this book by poker's self-styled "Mad Genius" raises awareness of tells, or gestures that give away information, that you might be committing yourself or to help you spot them on other players. This book may be more suited to the novice who still grapples his way into the game as Caro's own "reliability percentages" suggest that tells are ultimately individual rather than universal.
