i like theory of poker and poker essays much better than hold em for advanced players. i'm not really as interested in worrying about specific situations in these books, but understanding the theoretical background of sklansky and malmuth is very interesting and helpful.

Sklansky and Malmuth are great writers of theory but from what i've heard not the greatest players. Sklansky is so wrapped around the odds and everything that he would "make a move" in tournaments and is the biggest rock in the world. Some of the greatest players out there have little education and don't know all the probabilities but know people. So what makes a better player?
