good poker books

What do you guys suggest I find to read to improve my poker skills? As someone who loves math and espeically probability poker fascinates me and it's a great way to have fun while making money. I'd like to improve my skills espeically when it comes to bluffing and reading other people.

usually it's a $5 buy in game, where either winner takes all or winner takes most and then the runner up takes $5

Re: good poker books

I really enjoyed Dan Harrington's books, but then again, I am a very conservative player.

Great Book. Changed my game forever. read vols 2 and 3 too. as for being conservative, unless your playing 2/4 theres no reason not to play tight-aggro.

Re: good poker books

No-Limit Texas Hold'em by Angel Largay for low NL cash.

No Limit Hold'em by David Sklansky and Ed Miller. An overview of the fundamentals.

Professional No Limit Hold'em by Matt Flynn, Sunny Mehta, and Ed Miller. For all stakes of NL cash. The best poker book but fundamentals needed first.

The Psychology of Poker by Alan N. Schoonmaker. Especially useful for live games. It categorizes players into types and outlines how to play against each one.

The Poker Mindset by Ian Taylor and Matthew Hilger. Great if you have tilt/gambling issues.
