What would be the best way to learn this content. Would you take notes while watching the lectures or try and pay close attention to the videos and read the class notes later, or something else?

What are other poker books, classes or tutorials that are high quality?

Super System is outdated. Sklansky is good but extremely dry.

If you are mathematically inclined, Mathematics of Poker by Bill Chen (one of the lecturers in the linked post) is one of best books to get introduced to modern poker theory & math.

TwoPlusTwo is the biggest community but their quality has gone south for many years. Currently the hottest content/community is on http://www.runitonce.com community. Their $10/mo membership delivers serious value for any serious poker enthusiasts.

A good starter book that won't teach bad habits is Professional No Limit Holdem by Ed Miller et al: http://www.amazon.com/Professional-No-Limit-Hold-em-I/dp/188...

Once you master the basics, Miller's Poker's 1% (http://www.amazon.com/Pokers-1%25-Secret-Keeps-Players/dp/14...) and Janda's Applications of No Limit Holdem (http://www.amazon.com/Applications-No-Limit-Hold-Matthew-Jan...) explore the game from a game theoretical perspective - interesting if you want to go deeper.

The two plus two poker forums [1] are one of the best resources for learning about poker, especially so for online poker but live poker as well.

The Theory of Poker by David Sklansky is the SICP of poker.

Harrington on Hold'em is a good starting place for (tournament) poker. It's an old book but it teaches solid fundamentals.

Harrington wrote a cash book as well, fwiw.

Doyle Brunson's "Super/System" was an early and influential book on poker strategy. It's been a while since I read it, but I recall it contains a general game and strategy overview, followed by chapters dedicated to the different Poker games (stud, draw, etc... and importantly: no-limit hold'em). Though outdated in some respects (first published in the 70s) it's considered a classic in the field, worth a look IMHO.

Mostly everything Phil Gordon, David Sklansky and Ed Miller put out over the years. poker differs a lot in its variants, atleast to newcomers, so it's probably best to pick up one variant (no limit hold'em I'm looking at you) and start from there.

+1 for sklanskys stuff, particularly his Theory of Poker book

[sokoloff]

His "Fundamental Theorem of Poker" was mind-blowing to me when I first read it.

I like most of what he's written, so just to whet some appetites, I'll link to the FToP overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_theorem_of_poker

I'm just getting into poker so I can't claim to be an expert but I've been enjoying Lee Jones' Winning Low-Limit Hold'em.
