I hosted poker night last night. I lost a fairly sizeable sum, partly due to incompetence, partly drinking too much Captain Morgan. Poker is actually pretty stupid, it's boring to play sober, and often painfully slow, and always infuriating to lose. If you do want to become a poker genius I recommend Doyle Brunson's Super System: he teaches you to play like an aggressive high roller. Follow that up with a spot of Sklansky and Malmuth: they teach you to play like a statistician. If those two books can't improve your game you'll have to turn to the Annotated Erdnase, which is the best book about card sharpery ever written.
