Re: Poker: How you can get started, succeed, and many myths and f
Harrington on Hold em I haven't read/know anyone of my poker friends who've read it off the top of my head, so can't say how they are, but Dan Harrington is mainly a tournament player, so not sure how good his cash games books would be. Could be okay for beginners, but not something I'd recommend unless I read them/knew of a poker friend who read them. At the same time, wouldn't be fair to say not to read them, because they could be okay for beginners.
Fwiw, a lot of poker authors would have a very difficult time beating small-mid stakes games online, so just keep that in mind. Many make the majority of their money writing about poker, and not necessarily playing it.(not all, just something to keep in mind)
"Harrington on Hold 'Em" Volumes 1-3 and "The Theory of Poker" I've seen recommended.
