Hedge Knight II: Sworn Sword Premiere HC (Hedge Knight II)

George R. R. Martin, Ben Avery, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

A great follow up to an already great series
When I read the first Hedge Knight, I was blown away by the story, art and detail. I never expected Marvel to adapt Song of Ice and Fire to a graphic novel. I was kind of skeptical at first...but then i read it and it was everything and more. The Sworn Sword is the ...

Every Hand Revealed

Gus Hansen

Citadel, 2008

Harrington vs. Hansen
If you've ever read the Harrington series, then read Every Hand Revealed, you will instantly realize the two contrasting styles. Harrington obvisously has the more conservative tight approach, while Hansen's only approach is to play as many pots as possible...no matter ...

Kill Everyone: Advanced Strategies for No-limit Hold 'em Poker Tournaments and Sit-n-go's

Lee Nelson, Tysen Streib, ...

Huntington Press, 2007

If you play poker seriously, you need this book!
I was a little skeptical, if not curious as to what would be written in this book and as to how useful the advice would be. I had read Kill Phil and thought that the ideas were very basic and not very applicable to intermediate and advanced players. When I spent my ...

Winning Poker Tournaments One Hand at a Time Volume I

Eric 'Rizen' Lynch, Jon 'Pearljammer' Turner, ...

Dimat Enterprises, Inc., 2008

Thinking about the hand
I was in the process of reading another poker book when this one arrived in today's mail. A quick glance made it clear that "One Hand at a Time" should be read first. The book is organized in four sections, one written by each of the three authors and a fourth in ...

Harrington on Hold 'em: Expert Strategies for No Limit Tournaments, Vol. III--The Workbook (Harrington on ...

Dan Harrington, Bill Robertie

Two Plus Two Publishing LLC, 2006

Excellent, this book will help your game
This series (I own all three) is very well written. Volume three is the workbook, which essentially a book-length quiz that you then grade yourself on, but it is very well done. I was able to identify weaknesses in my game and improve. Highly recommended. I say ...

One of the best poker books on Amazon bar none. This book is an easy 5 star rating. I love Harrington as a player, and now as a writer. I recommend this book for anyone trying to learn tournament strategies.

Tournament Poker: 101 Winning Moves: Expert Plays for No-Limit Tournaments

Mitchell Cogert

CreateSpace, 2008

Full of sound advice and a lot of fun to read
Normally when I review a poker book (and I've reviewed perhaps a dozen, including Mitchell Cogert's previous one on Razz) I like to take issue with a recommended play or two. The truth is there IS more than one way to skin a cat (a catfish, that is), and opinions can ...

Sit 'n Go Strategy

Collin Moshman

Two Plus Two Publishing LLC, 2007

My favorite poker book
This book has become my favorite out of the dozens of poker books that I own. Before reading this book I was a marginal to losing player at on-line poker. Since reading this book, I have become a consistent winner at low and medium stakes SNG's. I honestly can't say ...

The Full Tilt Poker Strategy Guide: Tournament Edition

Andy Bloch, Richard Brodie, ...

Grand Central Publishing, 2007

Please don't read this book
In the world of poker literature, no limit hold em advice dries up and becomes useless pretty quickly these days. One year after its release, this underrated and underread book still holds advice that has yet to find its way into most tournaments. Almost every chapter ...

Tournament Poker for Advanced Players: Expanded Edition

David Sklansky

Two Plus Two Publishing LLC, 2007

reasonably well-written, useful strategic advice with some caveats
First, some of you may be interested in how this new expanded edition compares to the previous edition. I don't have the previous edition, but in this new expanded edition, there are viii + 346 pages, including the 8-page index. The principal new portion is Part Five: ...

Zurich International Chess Tournament, 1953

David Bronstein

Dover Publications, 1979

A great book by a great player
This is perhaps the greatest tournament book ever written. Bronstein's his psychological insights into the thinking processes of strong GMs make this book a must-have for players of all strengths. In particular, players of sub-2200 rating will find this book a ...

Tales from Q School: Inside Golf's Fifth Major

John Feinstein

Back Bay Books, 2008

Q School
Couldn't put it down. If you're a golfer this is a must read. If you aren't a golfer, but like real drama this is also for you. Feinstein gives you everything you need to understand it all and be intrigued. He's a terrific writer.

Blair Rodman, Lee Nelson

Huntington Pres, 2005

Can't complain
The first time I used the strategy in this book, I won a 180 player tournament. Hard to argue with those results!
