Every successful business needs a business plan. In the same way, every trader to be successful must have trading plans. Having a trading plan removes the emotions from decisions made during trading. It defines what your responses are going to be at any point during a trade.

You might wonder why a company as big as IBM can almost always guarantee its success every single year? This is mainly because everything that they do or needed to do have been carefully laid out through their established plans and systems. It includes all the details that their employees have to follow to ensure the smooth flow of their services: from hiring people to selling their products and services.

A business is a business no matter from what angle you look at it and one thing is for sure, you would not want to invest a huge sum of money in it unless you are very sure of its success. And to do that you have to understand its business plan so you will have a good idea how it will be operating, whether it will work or not, or if it has a huge potential for growth. The problem with a lot of traders, particularly the new ones, is that they do not treat their trading activities as a business and therefore they do not even have their own trading plans.

A well thought out, well documented trading plan is the key to success. A good guide as to whether this is a solid plan is to write it out and then give it to someone else to read. If they are able to understand it and to go through it with a minimum number of questions, you can rest assured that you have completed a competent trading plan.

When you write your own plan you must remember that everything that is written there and that happens are all your responsibility. This is because of the volatile nature of of the stock market or whatever market you may be trading.

Keep in mind that there should be three areas that any trading plan must cover. The first one is that it should have entry rules that have been thoroughly tested. The second one is that the rules can be applied on any tradable instrument. And the third one is that these rules must be easy to understand and follow.

Do you have your exit rules clearly defined in your plan? If you have entry rules it is therefore also important that you know when to exit a trade. This is because it does not make sense that you know when to enter a trade and yet you do not know what are the criteria you should be looking out for to know that you have achieved all that you can from that trade, whether it is a winning or losing situation. If it is a losing situation then at least the goal is to minimize your losses. Do not let it bleed as they always say.

And last but not the least, the need for a very strict money management is of high necessity especially if you know your assets for your trading are very limited. Again, this is to help you minimize your losses.

These are the important things you need to consider when you are creating your best trading system. All trading plans must be well thought out and that you should be the one to devise your own.

Title – Harrington on Online Cash Games; 6-Max No-Limit Hold ‘em
* Author(s) – Dan Harrington and Bill Robertie
* This edition published – June 2010
* Pages – 530

Synopsis –
Dan Harrington shows you the important concepts and expertise that can let you excel at online poker. On-line poker is a environment, as any of you who also play live games know, which differs in a number of significant ways from the world of casino games.

Subject areas dealt with include:

In addition there are in depth strategy guides for playing micro and small stakes cash games at the pre and post flop stages.

We really rate this book for all poker online players who play money games online but do not win as much as they’re like (most of us in other words!) In addition it is ideal for free online poker players planning to step up to micro and small stakes real money play and live card room players who have not played online before.

For players just starting poker we strongly suggest that you start by playing free online poker games first and learn the ropes before risking your real money. Sure get the book but don’t risk real money yet please!

Good review opinions –
* Do Not Buy this guide – I do not want you getting any better! I highly recommend this book to the online player who isn’t my opposition.
* Specifically explains numerous valuable statistics that may be employed to make the most of patterns in your oppositions pre and postflop tendencies.
* Several genuinely superb ideas on note-taking.
* He gives you the know how to assess your oppositions play and manipulate them when they are poor, or when they are good.
* I’m impressed with this book. All of his books are great, but this particular one really gets into details concerning the types of games and scenarios that you experience.
* Its an excellent book and a must for any online player. You can utilize the know how in the book for full ring game also. Excellent book.

Cons –
Nothing major seen apart from one silly naysayer type who’d probably say night was day just to stand out.

Title – The Full Tilt Poker Strategy Guide: Tournament Edition
* Author(s) – Andy Bloch, Richard Brodie, Chris Ferguson and Ted Forrest
* This edition published – June 2007
* Pages – 448

Synopsis –
Full Tilt will be dead and buried now however the advice from their team professionals who collaborated to produce this book is still amazing for a lot of poker online players.

Pros –
* I feared this book would be a quick buck job cashing in on the online poker craze boom with the writers shoving out a cheap chapter for a fast fistful of dollars and that the results would be poor. This is not the case. There is material in this that is superb.
* Ferguson’s section is like a little training lesson with him.
* This will likely turn into a “need to have” book for poker tournament players.
* I hate to have to recommend this. It really gives away too many trade secrets.
* The beginner and players who’ve played for less than five years could play ten more years and never absorb close to this much information.

Cons –
* Split into many chapters with each different from the previous and created by a different player. As a result it’s kind of mixed up.
* Some have said it is little use for internet as poker online is all rigged…

So this ends the first best poker books to read review article, keep an eye out for the next which will have more online poker specific resources that, while not free have been proven to pay for themselves by those who are willing to read, learn and apply what they learn.
