Hey all! So I'm looking for a poker book that will help me improve my game. I've seen the same dozen or so books in most top 10 rankings of poker books however I wanted to check here first to make sure I'm getting the right book for me and my current skill level.
I've played poker for years and years but not frequently and when I do, the friends I play with are more interested in talking about fantasy football and drinking beer than playing. I love that type of game and I do very well but recently I've been looking to play more competitively. I've been playing home poker games (with "strangers" $0.25/$0.50 NLHE) with players who actually care most about playing and while I've had mixed results it's clear to me there's gaps in my knowledge even at this level.
For framing I would say I'm an experienced beginner - I'm not new to the game and know general terms and odds but beyond that there's a ton I can learn. I'm hoping to find a book that skips the general hand rankings and the rules of the game but at the same time isn't something that an experienced casino player would buy to hone their skills.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
