You think Hellmuth's a lucksack?
His books are fine. I'm sure Jamie Gold's will be somewhat meh; I'm not expecting something groundbreaking from it, it'll probably just reiterate info that's been published in other books.
Ignoring all this off-topic Gold/Hellmuth blabber, I'd listen to aliengenius, owner of 3828901084 poker books.

If you play Texas Holdem at the low blind levels I recommend 'Get the Edge at Low Limit Texax Holdem' by Bill Burton. It has a great chart inside the front cover and many helpful hints for playing online. 'Ken Warren Teaches Texas Holdem' is another good one. It will give the reader an excellent understanding of the mathematical elements of the game. Whatever you do don't waste your money on any books or ideos by Phil Helmuth. They are full of bad advice. Cheers

I dunno, he is lucky as crap, but I gotta say, he plays pretty good on high stakes, save a few hands. He's already a lot better than he was for the WSOP 06. He admits that he's a student, and he's crap right now, but he works hard.

again i hafta disagree. jerry yang had alot of lucky breaks, at final table, but also a few tough losses as well. jamie gold on the other hand was a total jerkoff throughout the entire tournament, just because he had 5:1 chiplead after day 2, it was ridiculous! sry, but i would rather stick my penis in a meat grinder than show any sign of respect to jamie gold. ery strongly opinionated about this topic!LOL

I'd recommend Positively Fifth Street by James McManus...
You don't learn anything from it really, but it is really interesting him telling his story on him getting into the WSOP...
It's better then all those others...

first of all there are probably some jamie gold fans who will buy the book thinking he is good....i honestly think he got lucky throughout the whol wsop......i mean he can talk some people into calling but other than that hell never winagain unless he has the luck

Do you mean the top 5 earners in the wsop? If so, then its because he won 12M of his earnings in one tourney.

the NL holdem section of supersystem? doyle is mainly aiming this at cash games IMO... only problem is that hardly anyone plays tight anymore so the super aggro style is often snuffed out.
Also there is a few decent chapters in Play poker like the Pro's by Phil Helmuth - the limit hold em section is good and there is some decent no limit discussion but nothing too spectacular.
Has anyone read any of Dan negreanu's books?

Limit/NL or doesn't matter? I play NL, and was going to buy that book last night but they didn't have it at Borders. But maybe I should still get it?
Right now, I'm reading through Gordon's Little Green Book(read some of the little black book, but skipped past a lot) and have the Little Blue Book on deck. I have Hilger's Texas Hold'em Odds and Probabilities too, but I haven't read it much.

The first poker book I ever bought was David Sklansky's Theory of Poker and it has a lot of advanced stuff in it. I would recommend you read Phil Gordon's little green book first and then the theory of poker and from there you have plenty of other good books to choose from. Harrington on Holdem is excellent for tournament and Sit n Go games. I think the theory of poker is regarded as a must-read for ring games though (cash games). Personally I regard it as such and the books in aliengenius' thread that he linked to are good also. Although I havn't read a lot of those but plan to soon now. Hope we've helped some.
