Adding weapons to my arsenal

After another extremely unsatisfying day of poker (highlighted by bubbling the Austrian Classics Weekly, grrrrrrr), I have come to the conclusion that I really need to put more effort into improving my game. Obviously, experience is the biggest teaching tool of all, but reading poker books and watching poker videos certainly are valuable in their own ways as well.

I am in the middle of the Book of Bluffs by Matt Lessinger right now (opponents beware!), so I plan on getting that finished ASAP. I then have the choice between The Makings of a Poker Player by Matt Matros, The Psychology of Poker by Alan Schoolmaker, No Limit Hold'em by Sklansky/Miller, or Kill Phil by Blair Rodman. All of these books are just sitting on my shelf doing nothing but attracting dust, certainly I did not buy them to do that.

I'm leaning towards the No Limit Hold'em Theory and Practice book by Sklansky/Miller, as I've heard plenty of good things about it. My hope is that some fresh advice and poker knowledge will be just the right thing I need before embarking on the Austrian Classics week. Perhaps I will stumble over something really eye-opening even. We'll see.

Hey cortster, wohne auch in Berlin (Frohnau) und hatte dich öfter bei Pokerstars spielen sehen. Ausserdem spiele ich auch Fussball. Vielleicht kann man sich ja mal auf ein Bierchen treffen und einwenig quatschen...
