Poker Books
I've played poker for quite a few years now. About a month ago, the home game that i've run for about a year and half began to break up, mostly because the people i play with are tired of me winning all the time (now, i'm not bragging, because i'm not really that good, rather the people i play with are really bad). I rely mostly on my ability to read people and not so much on math. However, recently, as i take on better competition, i'm losing more often, and i'm pretty sure my very average understanding (average at best) of the math and stats within the game are to blame. I went to a bookstore and checked out some of the books, but i couldn't decide on one. Can anyone recommend a book or website that i mostly play limit and no limit hold em, so these two would be my primary interest does a good job going over the basic ground level math and stats in poker? Like most people. But, i do like Omaha and Stud as well, hell feel free to mention a good book or web site for any game...........i love them all.

You should read David Sklansky's The Theory Of poker, the rule of poker he stated is that the better the players and the smaller the pot, the more you disguise your hand when there are more cards to come. The worse the players and the larger the pot, the more you play your hand normally, without regard to giving anything away. What a great conceptions of poker. I learned a lot from these...

I'm surprised no one mentioned Super Systems by Doyle Brunson. Gus Hansen has a book discussing every hand he had in the Australian open that he won a few years ago. That was a good read. That one taught me that there are many different styles of play that will work.
