Harrington on hold'em by Dan Harrington and Bill Robertie

Even if you've read all the books I've recommended thus far, you will still feel like three times the tournament player after you've finished Harringtons books on the subject: "Harrington on Hold'em vol 1 Strategic play", and "Harrington on hold'em vol 2, the endgame". The text makes complex ideas fairly straightforward, primarily by using many examples to show how to play. If you remember taking math in school, you usually had a couple of pages of text you were supposed to read, then a large bunch of problems to solve. Reading the text was helpful, but it was by solving the problems that you learned, and this is the basic idea behind Harringtons method for teaching you the game. This book, like so many others, is only semi accessible. There is suppose to be a third volume included, the workbook, but it's only available as a regular textbook. Still, if you can get someone to read the many examples out loud, this is definitely worth your while. I highly recommend it!
