Every Poker player should have "The Book of Poker Tells," by Caro, on his bookshelf. Even if you only play on the internet and will never play in a Brick & Mortar poker room, this book is invaluable. Question the reasoning of anyone that does not rate this as the top general subject poker book available.

It may not be necessary to know why you win, but if you want to know why, "Seven Card Stud Poker", by Othmer, is the poker book. Although, targeted at 7 card stud most of the concepts apply to all games of poker, and the graphic explanations are simple and profound. I recommend for Hold'em and Omaha players. Often consider simplistic by the more sophisticated players, its simple straightforward explanations are the best reason to buy it.

For years this was the first book in every poker player's library was "7 Card Stud the Waiting Game," by Percy. It is definitely oriented toward the beginner, to poker and to casino poker. Although not at the top of the list for poker players other than stud players, it does stress some of the concepts that apply to Hold'em and Omaha . A good quick read when your poker game needs centering, even if your game is Hold'em.

Sklansky and Malmuth are a couple of the best authors in Poker, and their book, "Hold 'em Poker for Advanced Players" is one of the best. Any title co-authored by the two should be in your library. I've often thought of Sklansky as the brains and Malmuth as the instinct, but no matter what you think together the write great books.

"The Best of Cappalletti on Omaha " is the only Omaha book I own. It is good it is humorous and it gives a good description on how crazy an Omaha game can be.

"Seven Card Stud for Advanced Players" is another title by Sklansky and Malmuth, with another author Zee. The three provide tons of information on 7 Card Stud and some of the tactics that make the best poker players.

Okay you won't learn a lot about poker from "Read 'em and Laugh," by Shapiro, but if you ever sat long hours at a poker table, you will crack a grin. Sometimes you just have to lighten up and smell the roses and appreciate the humor of the situation.
