Poker Book List

Here is the short list of key poker literature:

Super/System, Doyle Brunson
Texas Hold'em for Advanced Players, Sklansky/Malmuth
The Theory of Poker, Sklansky
Championship No Limit and Pot Limit Hold'em, T.J. Cloutier/McEvoy
Play Poker Like the Pros*, Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
Non-Strategy Books
The Biggest Game in Town, A. Alvarez
Poker Nation, Andy Bellin
Poker Wisdom of a Champion, Doyle Brunson
Positively Fifth Street, James McManus
Bobby Baldwin's Winning Poker Secrets, Bobby Baldwin/Mike Caro
*Sorry, Phil, but your book gets an asterisk because it is kind of crappy. If you are a beginner grab Texas Hold'em Poker by Sklansky or Hold'em Excellence by Lou Krieger instead.
