Texas Holdem 3D & Mattel Computer Card Game: Learning Theory & Strategy Tips.
I ordered them & received them in about two weeks. I am very satisfied. As always, the books are only a form of self-discipline, and this whole program of discipline is what works, not the material in the books, so much. But the material is good in these books. It gets you thinking on a few key concepts, and as you begin to acquire these concepts, your game improves.
I have moved (over about 8 years of home games, after quitting bridge) from a reputably tight winner, to just a winner; noone would now characterize me as tight, but they would characterize me as a winner, and generally dangerous in any pot. Perfect!
(Casino note): although I really like the structure and ambiance of casino poker, I have very little skill there, and agree that most success for the "small-town-champ" will be at home, and that the casino is much harder to read, and therefore much harder to control (back to the main issue of the game). It would take days, I think, for the disciplined, thinking player like me, to achieve it in a casino; on the other hand; it can happen there (I favor Omaha high, 10-20, but all I could find in St. Louis was Omaha 8 5-10. I played only that table, and in one session, got control & won 700; next time I came, the locals at the table controlled me and I lost 1100 (two days) Sorry for the digression: the point is, these two books are mainly concerned with control & discipline in the home and small casino games: they were just right for me.
I attribute most of this to discipline and acquiring skills from books like these, and incorporating these skills (few of which are card- or odds-skills, but are mostly control- & (one's own) table image- skills.
I would also recommend Caro's Book of Tells; gets your eye on the other players, which is where the action is. (I now think most poker success is a proper read of opposing hands--that is the nuts of the game.) Good luck.
Oh: size: short, concise, insightful: 50 pages altogether, but packed with good stuff. Highly recommend both of them. A much better investment than an early call with 88.

Las Vegas Travel Vacations.
Would it be to my advantage to wait till September to get a better deal on room rates or is mid-September a time hotels might sell out and I had better make a reservation now? Any assistance anyone could provide would be appreciated.
It all depends on whether there is some trade show or convention in town. If you go in November when Comdex is in town or whenever the CES show is, expect to pay through the nose for a room if you can get one at all! The Mirage is great, but I suspect that in September the crowds who wouldn't THINK about going to the desert in summer will be returning.
However, the new resort (Bellagio?) owned by the same consortium as the Mirage and Treasure Island is due to open later this year, so it might just be that all the high rollers will be checking THAT resort out, leaving more rooms available than usual at the Mirage.
As for rates, it's always a lot cheaper if you stay Sun to Thursday night. The rooms that they have on these promos (typically $20-30 + tax) are limited like airline seats. It wouldn't hurt to check what promo rates they have and book now, and recheck what they have closer to the time you go. You can always cancel if you find a better rate.
