    Default What should I read at poker games?

    I've decided that I need to be less aggressive in live games and a good start would be to read something between hands so as to not get too impatient. So, starting with the next big tournament in about 8 days time, which book should I bring to the table to read? These 6 books happened to be on my desk at the time.

    erm, maybe you should pay attention to what other people at the table are doing while playing poker and read these books at home?

    I've read them before. Plus if I wear shades I can both read and pay attention at the same time.

    If you are going to be indoors, mid November, wearing sunglasses, then read Phil Hellmuths book.

    Alternatively you could give up on a hand every now and then.

    Seriously though, reading a book at the table is the worst idea ever, read your body language book and read Mike Caros book of Tells (the video of this is on most torrent sites) and you will have an advantage over most players at that event.
