2) Harrington on Hold ’em, Volume I: Strategic Play: Expert Strategy for No Limit Tournaments - Dan Harrington • This book is the first of three books believed to be the most famous series of Poker books ever written on No Limit Hold’em tournament play. • The book provides strategies for different phases of tournament play, for example, right from when the stakes are low, to loose games and endgame play. • Harrington is one of the few players who have made it to the WSOP final table three times and are a member of the Poker Hall of Fame.

5) Every Hand Revealed - Gus Hansen • In the 2007 Aussie Millions Main Event, Gus Hansen noted every hand he played on a Dictaphone. • He won the event and subsequently accounted his recordings in one of the most remarkable Poker books, Every Hand Revealed. • The three World Poker Tour open titles winner is one of the most interesting Poker players who is well known for his crazily fearless and aggressive style of play. • The book showcases this aggressive strategy of Hansen, making it a fun read.
