High Hand
Hi all! Relatively new to the forum (and to poker as a whole really) and I've been getting more into both chips and the game.
While hopefully getting some my first set of decent chips soon, I've been looking at improving my game at the same time.
I'm in the vibe right now for picking up a book and reading it (to spend less time online anyway) so I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for a first poker book?
There are lots of decent options that I've found online so far (Theory of Poker, Every Hand Revealed, The Mathematics of Poker) but I was wondering if anyone had a good suggestion that could outline a lot of the fundamentals for a beginner that is ready to attack the game very fundamentally and theoretically (hence looking for a book instead of watching quick Youtube videos).
I'm not really daunted by thicker reads or heavy analytical work (chemist by trade), so I'll entertain any and all suggestions. I'm keen on especially understanding (1) the statistics of hands and odds (especially in no-limit hold-em) and (2) the psychology of game and players. There seem to be great books for both.
Thanks!
