Summary: 5 Stars
The Theory of Poker is the best book written on poker.
You will not find information on how to play specific hands but you will find the theory that will teach you how to think-and that is more important.
Unless your are a poker expert The book requires studying for many hours and quite a lot of readings.
The book writes about every poker theory you need (pot odds, effective odds, implied odds........).
This should be your second book not the first one
If you have poker experience and comprehend some poker books, this is the book for you.
Book Review: Great place to start for the poker lover!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is an excellent reference for playing all types of poker. Some of the topics are a bit in depth for the beginner and sometimes are a bit complex to understand. However, it is worth going through and having on your shelf if you are at all interested in learning the complexities of poker. Just make sure that you realize it is not for texas hold'em specifically but for general concepts of all poker and many examples will be from other types of poker games (7-stud, omaha, hi-lo games, etc...). If you are interested in only hold'em, check out Sklansky's book on that.Book Review: Poker 101 textbook

This is a perfect textbook for a class on poker. Do not pick this book and expect to walk way knowing the ins and outs of your particular game. This is a book that needs to be studies and reviewed.Position play is very important part of poker and this book takes you through the general ideas related to position and then walks through specific examples. The author does this for just about every topic that he feels is important.
If you are serious about improving your poker game, you should pick this book up and take the time to study it. Read it more then once.
