I just finished reading Poker: The Real Deal by Phil Gordon. It's a great book for poker players who want to improve their game. You won't find the mathematical details that you'll find in Sklansky's books, but it's a great start on learning how to think like a poker player, and its written in a very accessible and entertaining style. You may know Gordon as the co-host of Bravo's Celebrity Poker Showdown. I get the impression from the book that he doesn't take himself too seriously. He seems like the type of guy who never makes you feel intimidated while he's breaking your bankroll. And if you play against him, you can be sure that your losses support a good cause since he donates a portion of his winnings to the Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation.
