I find myself rereading Sklansky "Tournament Holdem for Advanced Players" over and over. Seemsl like everytime I do I find another bit of information the helps me improve my game.
Super System I refer from time to time. Still good info in some sections of the book. Although, I would prefer a bit more detailed instruction on Razz. I have a league I play in that has 1 Razz game a month and I would like to become better at it than I am now. SS just doesn't go ery much into detail on Razz.
I am just cracking into Harrington on Holdem 1st book and it seems like it will become one I will be refering back to often.
And I will even give kudos to the Phil Hellmuth. I have Play Poker Like the Pros and refer back to it often as well.
I really don't have a favorite out of the 4. All of them impart their unique style to the game. I have learned from reading from all of these authors.

I always enjoyed ploughing on with Harrington. I really looked forward to the next bit of his book because it was all so well put together and all made good sense. Gonna order Vol 2 & 3 from Amazon cos you can't seem to find Vol 2 & 3 in the shops in the UK anymore.
With Skanskly (on the shelf now - half way through) I know I'll need to put in that bit more of an effort. It's dry and more of a slog because it reads more like a thesis - it still has some great stuff in it though.
For a breezy, readable romp, ya need ta get yer hands on John Vorhaus's "Killer Poker" and "Killer Poker Online". Vorhaus has a relaxed, informal approach and really reveals a lot about the psychological ins and outs of playing online poker - top quality!
Doyle Brunson just seemed to be a bit of a big head with his hyper-aggressive style (even though there are still things to learn from his Super System).
