On this page you will find a selection of poker books. These
books on poker all feature in Mister Tips' personal
library, the short reviews are my opinions on how useful
they are to a poker player - particularly an online poker
player.
I
hope you find them enjoyable and helpful. All the money
I have "invested" in books on poker has been repaid
tenfold with the knowledge I have acquired from them. I
can only recommend them to you in the hope you will find
them as helpful as I have.
Doyle
Brunson's Super System
This
is an all time classic - the "Poker Bible". Containing
advice from poker greats Doyle Brunson, "Crazy"
Mike Caro, David Reese, Joey Hawthorne, David Sklansky and
Bobby Baldwin. It covers draw poker, seven card stud and
other games as well as Texas Hold'em. The most interesting
aspect of this book is the section on no limit holdem. If
you want to play no limit this book is a must. Buy
Super System here.
Internet
Texas Holdem: Winning Strategies from an Internet Pro
Written
by Matthew Hilger, this is a fascinating insight into the
world of online poker. Its focus is entirely on beating
online games and it has many good tips to use in the online
poker room that you won't find in other books. If you fancy
yourself as an internet pro then this is the book for you!

Theory
of Poker: A Professional Poker Player Teaches you how to
Think like one
A
poker classic. David Sklanksy teaches the theory of poker
in a mathematically orientated way. There is a wealth of
valuable information in this book for players of all levels
- although I think more advanced players will get more out
of it. Great book if you have a reasonable grounding in
maths. Buy The Theory of Poker here.
Play
Poker Like the Pros
In
contrast to the above book, Play Poker Like the Pros adopts
a more people orientated view of the game. Phil Hellmuth
is a master of the game and he teaches you how to get into
the head of your opponent. He even has a section on internet
play so you get a view of all sides of the game. An excellent
book. Buy Play Poker Like The Pros here.
Hold'em
Poker: A Complete Guide to Playing the Game
This
was one of the first poker books I bought. Although it isn't
very long, it contains a lot of good information. David
Sklansky presents all the tips you'll need to tighten up
your beginner's game and start turning a profit. The book
is about limit holdem so if you are looking to play other
forms of the game this probably isn't for you. Buy Hold'em
Poker here.
Tournament
Poker for Advanced Players
Sklansky
does it again! If you do not know poker you may be surprised
at how differently you should be playing in a tournament
when compared to a cash game. If you are already an experienced
player and want to hone your tournament play then this is
the book for you. Buy Tournament Poker for Advanced Players

Caro's
Fundamental Secrets of Winning Poker
"Crazy"
Mike Caro is a fascinating chap with a very interesting
approach to the game of poker. This book is well worth a
read for anyone who wants to learn more about the game and
who would like a different perspective on it. Caro teaches
you about knowing yourself as well as knowing your opponent
and also gives great general advice on the game. Buy
