What would be the best way to learn this content. Would you take notes while watching the lectures or try and pay close attention to the videos and read the class notes later, or something else?
What are other poker books, classes or tutorials that are high quality?
- tP5n 11y agoMostly everything Phil Gordon, David Sklansky and Ed Miller put out over the years. poker differs a lot in its variants, atleast to newcomers, so it's probably best to pick up one variant (no limit hold'em I'm looking at you) and start from there.
- mcgin 11y ago+1 for sklanskys stuff, particularly his Theory of Poker book
- sokoloff 11y agoHis "Fundamental Theorem of Poker" was mind-blowing to me when I first read it. I like most of what he's written, so just to whet some appetites, I'll link to the FToP overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_theorem_of_poker https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_theorem_of_poker
- dmansen 11y agoA good starter book that won't teach bad habits is Professional No Limit Holdem by Ed Miller et al: http://www.amazon.com/Professional-No-Limit-Hold-em-I/dp/188068540X/ref=sr_1_1 http://www.amazon.com/Professional-No-Limit-Hold-em-I/dp/188... Once you master the basics, Miller's Poker's 1% (http://www.amazon.com/Pokers-1%25-Secret-Keeps-Players/dp/1496159187/ref=sr_1_1 http://www.amazon.com/Pokers-1%25-Secret-Keeps-Players/dp/14...) and Janda's Applications of No Limit Holdem (http://www.amazon.com/Applications-No-Limit-Hold-Matthew-Janda/dp/1880685558/ref=pd_sim_14_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1C4XJSSFERZN1DKNS5MM http://www.amazon.com/Applications-No-Limit-Hold-Matthew-Jan...) explore the game from a game theoretical perspective - interesting if you want to go deeper.
- jib 11y agoHarrington on Hold'em is a good starting place for (tournament) poker. It's an old book but it teaches solid fundamentals.
- mod 11y agoHarrington wrote a cash book as well, fwiw.
- drham 11y agoThe two plus two poker forums [1] are one of the best resources for learning about poker, especially so for online poker but live poker as well. [1] http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com
- jamestnz 11y agoDoyle Brunson's "Super/System" was an early and influential book on poker strategy. It's been a while since I read it, but I recall it contains a general game and strategy overview, followed by chapters dedicated to the different Poker games (stud, draw, etc... and importantly: no-limit hold'em). Though outdated in some respects (first published in the 70s) it's considered a classic in the field, worth a look IMHO. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super/System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super/System
- rubiquity 11y agoThe Theory of Poker by David Sklansky is the SICP of poker.
- saryant 11y agoI'm just getting into poker so I can't claim to be an expert but I've been enjoying Lee Jones' Winning Low-Limit Hold'em.
- treme 11y agoSuper System is outdated. Sklansky is good but extremely dry. If you are mathematically inclined, Mathematics of Poker by Bill Chen (one of the lecturers in the linked post) is one of best books to get introduced to modern poker theory & math.
