Tournament Poker Book Suggestons?, Kyle, 16. Sep 2003 09:40
    View ( Message | Thread )       Return to Thread List
Hi All,

I am just starting to play on line SNG's. May end up in a B&M someday, too.

I would like suggestions on a good poker book geared to tournament play. I presently have:

Lee Jones on Low Limit HOldem
Theory of Poker, and
Holdem for Advanced Players-Sklansky and Malmuth

Also planning on purchasing Mike Caro's Book of Tells

Thank you,

Kyle

Sklansky's Tournament Poker for Advance Player's is a must and I would also get Cloutier/Mcevoy's Championship No limit and Pot Limit Hold'em if those games interest you.

Good luck.

Cloutier and McEvoy's book helped me immensely in NL tournaments.

Read Sklansky's chapter on the gap concept and skip the rest of it. Too much math, too hard to read, it isn't written for a newer player.

Cloutier and McEvoy's book seems to have a good rep but I have yet to read it.

I would say that if you can not yet get your head around most of the concepts in Slansky try not to play for too high stakes as the book is very useful and most of the concepts are extremly valid in all types of tournaments.

That said most of it is stuff you probably do already if you are a good player but you have never seen it in writing before !
