It’s a book by the Japanese poker YouTuber "Yokosawa."
It’s aimed at beginners, and I recommend reading it before you start studying GTO using software or other tools.

However, I’m not sure if an English version is available.

What helped me most when I started to play seriously:

Super System (1 AND 2) by Doyle Brunson - for everything other than NLH.

Harrington on Hold'em 1 & 2 by Dan Harrington.


Today, I would recommend other books for NLH and PLO.

Maybe Modern Poker Theory by Acevedo for NLH and Mastering Small Stakes Pot-Limit Omaha by Fernando “JNandez” Habegger for PLO.

Anything by Alex Fitzgerald, Johnathan Little and Lexy Gavin Mathers are all great books. Good luck!

I think that books don't work for you if they don't explain to you what movements are like and why they do it...
