Hold'em Poker
Hold'em Poker

by David Sklansky

Hold'em Poker is a great book on Texas Hold'em Poker. This introductory text explains some of the most important skills every player should have in his/her arsenal. In addition to starting hands and situation strategy, it also explains some deeper concepts such as Semi-Bluffing and paying attention to the best possible hand at all times. This book is recommended for every player and serves as a good introduction to Texas Hold'em. The only drawback this book has, as do many of David Sklansky's books, is that the thinking becomes so deep, that it is sometimes hard to follow. (this probably just shows the limitations of how deep I can think:) ) It is usually a good idea to re-read any paragraphs that you don't understand until you do, as the knowledge within is always worthwhile.

The Poker Journal

by Jennifer Teti and Ross Watson

One of the most important aspects of good poker playing doesn't take place at the table, it takes place after the game. It's good record keeping and it is the one true way to understand how you are playing and what you need to do to improve your game. The Poker Journal provides everything you need to record your play, from wins and losses to the type of game you were in. It even helps you to keep track of frequently played opponents and record key styles and aspects of their game. Also has goals, lessons learned and bankroll management sections.

About Simply Holdem
Here you will find helpful information on how to improve your play as well as some insight into various aspects of Texas Holdem Poker. Use our Starting Hand Quiz to find out if you are playing the right starting hands or read our Starting Hands strategy section to better understand why you would play certain hands only in certain situations.

Although I am not a writer I felt it would be beneficial to share what I have learned during the past few years building my holdem poker skills. The information contained in this site is what I have been putting together to make sure I remember the concepts and ideas that I have come across. Most of the information is geared toward lower limit play, however the key concept to good poker play is to be adaptable to your environment. If you're at a middle limit table and people are playing like it's low limit, you should know how to play them. If you are at a low limit table and the game is tight and similar to a middle/high limit game, you should know how to play that as well.

So please enjoy what this site has to offer, an organized view on Texas Holdem concepts. It provides the reader with helpful information that will make them play better poker.
