Winning at Poker

Summary: Absolutely Essential!
Review: If you get one book to help you learn the game of poker, make it this one. Scharf's theories on low-limit poker are outstanding, and the best part is, they work! If you play the way this guy tells you to play, you WILL be successful at low-limit poker. Excellent readability and the spiral binding makes it fun to read. The book also teaches you to be more patient and to just accept the down times of your poker playing. I was a good player before reading this book, but now I am even better after reading it.

Summary: Great starting book
Review: This book takes a quick casual look at certain facets of low limit Hold'em, and sprinkles in some Omaha and Stud for good measure. This $10 book has helped me net over $400 in poker winnings online and in a casino in the last 2 months, never higher than $2/$4 stakes. The starting hand table is absolutely necessary for beginners, and easy to master. Once you see how well it works, you'll be ready for the more advanced texts about tells, betting strategy, etc. A must-read for anyone who wants to change their bad card luck, and only play when the odds are in their favor!
