I recommend start off with some online guides for beginners, espically the one at this site, but first read Super system (General poker and Limit/NL sections).
once done with that, read Small Stakes Hold'em, WONDERFUL book. Both books teach you about being aggressive and how it works for your adv. but SSHE goes alittle more into the numbers game with pot odds and implied odds (something SS only briefly hits).
once you've read SSHE, move onto Theory of Poker. OMG my game improved 100000000000% after reading ToP. it's amazing.
and this will get you started |
