    Good poker books.

    Just wanted to ask around and see if anyone has any good recommendations on poker books and autobiographies?

    Any Harrington or Skalansky book for strategy/education, the Barry Greenstein and Doyle Brunson "autobiographies" are quite enjoyable.

    Cheers.

    Super System 2 is still great to read. It still holds true that aggression is king.

    Sklansky has a great old book. Winning at low limit texas hold'em or something like that. a must read if you intend to sit at any table 3-6 and below.

    If you have a grand or two to spare, you can grab a copy of "let there be range".
