Say all you want about this guy. He may be a geek, but he is a great player and has wrote the best books to date on limit hold'em. I just wish he had some more books on games like no limit hold'em and pot limit omaha.

The man is legendary for packing an 11" piece. Also one of the best limit hold em authors alive.

Hold 'em Poker for Advanced Players vastly improved my game. Even for the beginner the first few chapters of the text would be extreamly helpful. Sklansky/Malmuth's starting hand ranking charts alone are well worth the cost of this book.p.s.- thanks for your post Blaseborough, I enjoyed it.

Sklansky is a awesome player. but y isnt Caro on this list, HE TAUGHT ME ALL THOSE TELLS, put Caro on the list. if it where not for caro i would have not been able to tell that both of my other opponents where bluffing.

Learned Pot Odds From His Book.

Sklanskys books r not trash. i want to see u right a poker book, let me read it and see if that would help me. read his books, they help. sklansky is a good player as well

If you haven't read a poker book and are serious about poker then your retarded. Unless your a genius you'll never realize how much information your giving away or not recieving. If you do choose to read a book you should deffinatly read Sklansky. But if your a redneck idiot then dont bother, you won't get it any way. For the rednecks and retards read Brunson he "dumbs it down" for ya. But not to say that its not usefull information... Both grade A, just in different leagues.

u do know that Sklansky was in Super/System

Learned how to smoke a bong from his book

DS is a genius but we dont get to see his theory put into practice by himself. I wish he wasnt just a good teacher but also a good player.

I wrote a book about 5-card stud. Unfortunately it took up less than one page, so i had to fill up the rest of the book with plagarised Sklansky material.

5-Card Stud sucks. and besides u cant get it published then cause plagarisim is against the law.

you seen that poker series on fx, he is in the top five in points I believe.

i hear his next book will be about how to try and win a game..something this guy cant do

He's on his own trip!...certified with papers...his nickname
should be "MOLE"
