Information: Books, website, discussion

I'm looking on information on two items:

1) How to look for and read tells

2) How to play tournament and limit Texas hold'em when you are short stacked.

Please let me know of any books, websites, or your opinions on these topics.

Hi!
1. The mother of a books on tells is "Caro's Book of Poker Tells", he also has some videos that explain it visually, which is much better.
2. I don't know of a book that specifically addresses short-stacked, limit, tournament play, and I'm pretty sure there isn't one. Sklansky wrote a nice tournament play book called "Tournament Poker for Advanced Players" that goes over how to play short-stacked in a tourny. I think T.J. Clotier wrote a nice book about tournament play too that has a chapter dedicated to that idea, you'll have to research what it's called though.

As far as websites...this is the only one worth going to!

I've never seen the book personally, but reading some of Mike Caro's lectures on the internet, I would have to think his book, "Mike Caro's Book Of Tells," would be a wonderful book to check out for tells. I actually plan to go look for it some time later on this summer. I suppose Phil Hellmuth's book also covers tells somewhat as well, but I've heard Phil Hellmuth puts a loooot of stories in his book, and it preaches really aggressive play. Well, hope this helps.


EDIT: Apparently I was writing this virtually the same time as Adam Marshall so that tells you that Mike Caro's book is the big hauncho.
