Here I placed together the road to success in holdem. Books to accelerate your knowledge, where to go for advise and training, and how to get rakeback for playing.

If you are a casual player just click here for Full Tilt Poker. It has the best software, is the safest poker site online, and has a large selection of games. I play on Full Tilt myself.

For the more serious player sign up for a poker room and collect part of the rake back. There is no catch just sign up. I recommend Full Tilt Poker between all the online rooms. That's where I play.

US Friendly Poker Sites: Bodog, Absolute Poker, Full Tilt Poker, Ultimate Bet, Cake Poker

Non-US Player Sites: All of the above and more

Phil Gordan's Little Green Book for a starters book, excellent to get you the basics.

Play some to get familiar with the strategies for no limit. Play at a limit you feel comfortable. When you are ready read the book below.

Sklansky/Miller's No Limit: Theory and Practice is the more advanced book for no limit. For many it is the bible of no limit play.

Once you get a feel for the game really advance it for professional help from players that made the big money at Card Runners. It is worth the money if you are serious about the game.

Start off with Lee Jones Winning Low Limit Holdem. Its an easy read and gets the correct concept to play with.

The next book, and bible of limit holdem, is Ed Miller's Small Stakes Holdem. Excellent book to advance your game.

When dealing with advanced opponents read Ciaffone's Middle Limit Holdem Poker and for high stakes limit games I recommend Winning in Tough Hold 'em Games

I also recommend reviewing all of the books in my books section and picking the ones that you feel will help your game. I placed some reviews of them.

You can email me if you have any questions.

Some books I strongly recommend for live play and for your own mental zen.

Food for your brain: For your own discipline I recommend one of these two books. Barry's did it for me.
Ace on the River (Barry Greenstein)

Tao of Poker (Larry W. Phillips)

Table Psycology: How to act, what to think, how to be at a poker table.
Inside the Poker Mind (John Feeney Ph.D):

Reading other players: Learn your opponent's body language and what it means. Both these books paid for themselves the first night after I read them.
Caro's Book of Poker Tells (Mike Caro)

Read 'Em and Reap (Phil Hellmuth)
