    What Hacker News says

    1. jinfiestoMar 2019
      Poker is much harder now and it's hard to find tables that will happily pay off nitty play ad infinitum. I'd make a list of concepts you should learn about, but I think it'll be easier for me to make a list of books you should read:

      The Mathematics of Poker (Chen and Ankenman)

      Applications of No-Limit Poker (Janda)

      Expert Heads up No-Limit Hold 'em (Tipton, this one is nice as the author is a Computer Scientist and also has a course on building a solver.)

      Professional No Limit-Hold 'em (Flynn, Miller, Mehta)

      Finally, you should get a membership to something like Upswing or RIO to help synthesize the information into a useful framework for play. Also, you'll want access to something like PIO or Pokersnowie for analysis of your hands.

      A 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/188...

      Once you master the basics, Miller's Poker's 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-Jan...) explore the game from a game theoretical perspective - interesting if you want to go deeper.
