The Theory of Poker - by David Sklansky
The Theory of Poker by David Sklansky discusses theories and
concepts applicable to nearly every variation of the game, including
five-card draw (high), seven-card stud, hold ’em, lowball draw, and
razz (seven-card lowball stud). This book introduces you to the
Fundamental Theorem of Poker, its implications, and how it should
affect your play. Other chapters discuss 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
semibluffing. Many of today’s top poker players will tell you that this
is the book that really made a difference in their play. That is, these
are the ideas that separate the experts from the typical players.
Those who read and study this book will literally leave behind those
who don’t, and most serious players wear the covers off their books.

Holdem Poker for Advanced Players - by David Sklansky
Texas Hold ’em is not an easy game to play well. To become an
expert you must balance many concepts, some of which occasionally
contradict each other. In 1988, the first edition appeared. Many
ideas, which were only known to a small, select group of players,
were made available to anyone who was striving to become an
expert, and the hold ’em explosion had begun. It is now a new
century, and the authors have again moved the state of the art
forward by adding over 100 pages of new material, including
extensive sections on "loose games," and "short-handed games."
Anyone who studies this text, is well disciplined, and gets the
proper experience should become a significant winner. Some of the
other ideas discussed include play on the first two cards, semi-
bluffing, the free card, inducing bluffs, staying with a draw and more.

Tournament Poker for Advanced Players - by David Sklansky
Tournament poker is very different from standard ring game poker.
While they might appear the same from a distance, there are many
differences in proper strategy that are often unknown to many
experienced cash game players. Some players excel at tournament
poker. This is not luck -- these are players who have a very strong
understanding of what the proper strategy adjustments are, and
when they come into play. It is no coincidence that the same
players make it to final tables far more than their fair share. This
book explains tournament strategies that only a small number of
players have mastered. It assumes you already know how to play
poker well, but aren't knowledgeable of tournament-specific
concepts and when and where to use them. Newly expanded
version contains over 100 new pages of updated material.

The Body Language of Poker: Mike Caro's Book of Tells
This book is bound to improve your game in at least two ways. First,
other players will begin revealing their hands to you -- and you
won't even have to pay to see them. Second, it will cause you to
reevaluate your own actions (tells). Many players try to "tell" their
opponents disinformation. However, Caro (and his readers) see
right through this "first grade psychology", and find the real
meaning in tells. Knowing what they look for is the first step in the
process of getting rid of your own tells. Mike Caro gives the reader
an excellent insight into the psychology of poker and explains the
meaning of opponents' actions and verbals. He unlocks the secrets
to reading opponents perfectly and helps the reader understand
how to remain "tell-less" when he/she is the one in the hot-seat.
Anyone who reads the Book of Tells will earn back the cost price.

Cash Games: How to Win at No-Limit Hold'em Money Games
The first years of the poker boom were fueled by the interest in
no-limit hold em tournaments. Recently, however, players have
been gravitating to another, even more complex form of hold em
no-limit cash games. In Harrington on Cash Games: Volume I, Dan
Harrington teaches you the key concepts that drive deep-stack cash
game play. You ll learn how to tailor your selection of starting hands
to your stack size, how to recognize the increasing deception value
of supposedly weaker hands as the stack sizes increase, and how
to use the concept of pot commitment to your advantage as the
size of the pot grows. Dan Harrington won the gold bracelet and
the World Champion title at the $10,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold em
Championship at the 1995 World Series of Poker. And he was the
only player to make the final table in 2003 and 2004.
