Complete Guide to Poker Theory
Of course, when you're at the table faced with a hard decision, there's no real time to go into theoretical studies. But if you understand the theoretical concepts of optimal play in poker, it can guide you to better decisions.
And that's what poker is all about - making good decisions. Also, with the help of theoretical analysis, you can develop rules of thumb that will come to practical use when you're in the game.

Apart from being somewhat humiliating, this is also a strong read that you can use against them in the game.
Don't let anyone put that read on you. Read up on poker theory!
