Yes, they won

Indeed, just really annoying when you read them so well and then they get lucky and beat you. Sometimes you just need to realise it's not your day

I don't care whether they're good or not - they won - so as I said, fair play to them!

Nice colllection! I've only got three of them but I definitely want to expand my collection with some of them. Which would you recommend after the two Harrington on Hold 'Em books?

Depends on what you plan to play (cash, STT, MTT) and what level you consider your game to be at.

Harrington on Hold'em 1-3 should be on everyones shelf as should "The Theory of Poker" and "Hold'em Poker for advanced players".

If you are playing cash games then obviously Harrington on Cash Games.

If you are playing MTTs then Every Hand Revealed is a great insight into the mind of a winning player.

If you are relatively new to tournaments then one book I don't have but you should get is "Kill Phil" - it's the fore runner to "Kill Everyone".

"Kill Everyone" is probably the most advanced book of the lot and teaches effective modern MTT strategy - but it's tough reading in someplaces and I find I often have to go back over what I've read.

The Phil Gordon Books are very good reading - they're not strategy books as such but anyone taking their game seriously (and new to the game) can benefit from the contents.

If you are looking at other games aside from NLHE then "Play Poker like the Pros" and the SuperSystem books are excellent reading.

I consider my collection to be a good starting point for anyone wanting to play good poker - but it's far from complete. I expect to double it's size over the next year or two!
