Hi guys can you please help me out is there a book(s) you would suggest for a beginner such as myself!?
I have read a lot of information's on various sites and forums but at times information's are not cohesive thus harder to take in specially for a beginner like me so if there are books you can recommend that would be a great help.

Dan Harrington, Harrington on Holdem for a start on more tight aggressive play, and Doyle Brunson supersystem. Don't know if other guys would agree but I think Harrington's book is good for learning a more 'safe' tight starting point while also giving tips on how to see how others are playing and then supersystem I think is valuable because it teaches you how to mix your play up which I think is important later on in your game to make your self less predictable. You can see Brunson taking pots off people holding AQ when he's holding 82 in some situations and although this might seem like a big gamble for someone of Bruson's experience its a calculated risk to get paid. I also find especially for online poker the pokerstrategy.com site is very useful and they will even bankroll you fifty dollars on their affiliate sites with no deposit, from this startpoint you must then play to gain points that unlock articles on their affiliate sites but there is no obligation and if you get to be a winning player you basically get the training free.

First read Super System from Doyle Brunson. Next read Harrington on Hold 'Em, then read Annie Duke's Decide to Play Great Poker. That should put you in perfect poker mode to make your own decisions and create your own poker mindset.
