Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

i have not read it myself... but have heard about "The Tao of Poker"... it's supposed to be good.

Yes, read Tao of Poker and Zen and the Art of Poker.
Also, for stories and such from the underbelly of poker read Poker Nation by Andy Bellis. That book was cool.

Not directly about Poker, but "Bringing Down the House" is about the MIT kids who took Vegas for millons playing BlackJack.

Here we go:
Poker: Bets, Bluffs, and Bad Beats... kind of a history on poker
Poker Nation by Andy Bellin... cool book, i like how he writes, kind of a personal experience
Biggest Game in Town by Alvarez... a book writtten in the 80s covering the World Series of Poker
Big Deal by Anthony Holden... another personal expereince perspective by the author, who tries his hand at high stakes poker and the wsop
Amarillo Slim in a World Full of Fat People by Slim... fun read about the consummate gambler
Gambling Wizards... this book covers a handful of gambler, including Chip Reese and Doyle Brunson... the other gamblers are blackjack card counters, sports bettors, and horse bettors... all of them professional
Positively Fifth Street... covers the Binions Murders as well as the author's fifth or sixth place finish at the wsop
Wow... I read that many books on the topic... I should get a star or something for that....
If you like reading, try finding some of the poker blogs, someone else listed this as a topic here... I do one myself at my own site... guess I should add some more pictures or something.... so many people now do blogs... they range from hand specific to just general stuff... almost non-poker related... (i like the latter myself... I get tired of reading about bad beat stories... you hear one you hear them all...
Maybe I should be writing my own Vegas book?
