Anyone have any good poker book recommendations? Not necessarily strategy guides. Looking more for something like "The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King" by Michael Craig. That was a really interesting read and had some strategy and poker psychology concepts but was mostly just an interesting story involving poker.

Positively Fifth Street

The Course

Endgame Poker Strategy

This one’s a fun read. Reading anything involving this guy and poker is comedy gold. Lindgren had a run but went bust-o and owed a bunch of money I guess.

This is the only book you’ll ever need. I’ll mail it to ya.

Bluff by Kardos was a fun read. No strategy or anything. Just a fun story based on true events about card cheats in poker games.

Positivity fifth street was cool, and I know I’ve got a few others I’ll try to dig up and post

One of a Kind about Stu Unger was a good read

The Education of a Poker Player is a fun read if not totally relevant.

This was a good read about a Slim, history, and gambling.

The Biggest Bluff is probably my favorite non strategy poker book.
Trigger warning, it's written by a highly intelligent woman Not for fragile M readers.

Barry Greenstein's Ace on the River bills itself as a strategy book but contains a lot of good poker stories IIRC.

The next one I'm reading is On the Edge by Nate Silver.

I learned how to deal as a teenage and refined so many aspects over time, wish I would have read this sooner. Even as a player this really outlines so much.

This was a good read about a Slim, history, and gambling.

Agree, I really liked this book. It was really interesting to read about the early days of poker, WSOP, and just how those guys operated. Lots of silly prop bets and such too. He’d take a prop bet to the extremes - lol.
