A book that every poker player should read!
For those familiar with the more famous poker books, but in poker, as in so many other parts of life, mastering and understanding yourself is something you have to do before you can hope to conquer others. A high percentage of poker players play very well when things are going their way, only to fall apart when trouble arrives. As the name implies, not really a how-to book, but a very useful part of any serious player's arsenal.

Good things come to those whom wait
Have read this book 3 times now and remember only really one thing. Patience is all. I am sure there are many aspects of the book that have lodged in my mind but all i know is that i have really started crushing sit and go tourneys up to $20 since i read this book. I have always been a fan of Zen books and this one has improved my game immensely. It is full of nice quotes from Sun Tzu, Buddha,etc to highlight points and chapter headings.
All in all if you like Zen and Poker then this book is a real must.

Zen & the Art of Poker - A Must Have
This is not a "how to play poker" training manual but an essential guide of "how not to play poker" It is about training your mind to the correct wave length of expecting to part with your money if you do not remain focused and calm, let all the hot heads who go all in each hand crash and burn; wait, wait and wait some more. Only strike when it is safe to do so. Since reading this book I have found that by following the principles of patience and even more patience I win money regularly by being around at the end of the game when the money is handed out. I've made more than the price of the book in one afternoon on micro sites. - If you want to make money buy the book and take note of what it says.
