Winning Low-Limit Hold'em
A Lee Jones book, this one is loved by beginners and negatively critiqued by other poker writers. It is an extremely well written and organized guide for beginning Hold'Em players. Jones is careful to define all the poker terms he uses in the book. His explanation of probability, pot-odds and implied-odds lays a firm foundation for all that follows. And what follows is a practical guide on how to play in a game in which most of your opponents will play any two cards and call to the river on a whim. Another aspect of this book widely appreciated by rank beginners is its discussion of card room play and etiquette.
