Getting insanely good at poker

Poker's not easy. It requires strategy, math, psychology, and intuition. This section will soon include articles, but the best thing you can do is practice and read a couple books. For practice, you can go back to the main page and try playing on campus or online. For books, there are a few consistently recommended ones that are almost guaranteed to improve your poker skills dramatically.

The Theory of Poker, by David Sklansky

This is often considered the Bible of poker. It's got everything. Parts of it are pretty advanced, and good players usually suggest you reread this book once in awhile.

Winning Low-Limit Hold'em, by Lee Jones

People really like this book. It's not quite as advanced as The Theory of Poker, but people report good results after reading it.

Doyle Brunson's Super System, by Doyle Brunson

Another classic, this book is especially good for learning how to read other players.

That should do you for now... I'll be back later with more!
