Customer Reviews: Excellent Book on Tournament Poker! January 9, 2007Doc Poker (Las Vegas, NV USA) In this book, the author gives you the clearest and most profitable information on how to navigate your way through the world of tournament poker. By now there are many books on poker, and quite a few of them by the "TV stars". Most tackle the task of letting you know how to successfully navigate your way through the tournament itself -- but won't really show you the "tricks" and "tactics". This is usually because either the authors don't want to share it all, or -- which is more often than not the real truth -- because they themselves really don't know how they are doing what it is that makes them so successful. There is nothing wrong with any of this. However, if you are trying to learn how to play tournaments -- and poker in general -- better and more profitably, such concepts just don't help you. Neither do books with lots of examples of hands. Such hands are indicative only of that particular situation, and that situation may not repeat itself again in tens of thousands of events. Using these as examples, therefore, makes for nice reading and for nice statistics, but not much for learning to play profitably. Playing poker tournaments successfully is a daunting task of not just surviving the tournament structures, but much more so in how to gain the knowledge necessary to make it work for YOU. Here the author takes you on a journey through the tournament, and shows you easy-to-learn tricks to help you make it to the final table, and then to win. There is key and new information here that deals with not only the cards and strategies, but with psychological warfare, pot manipulation, surviving the maniacs, how to play short stacks and big stacks at different stages of the tournament -- and a whole lot more. Rarely is there a series of poker books such as the three books by this author that weave the story of poker success so completely together. This is a trilogy of books, of which this one is the third. If you want to learn more about poker tournaments, then I highly recommend this book. By all means, read as many poker books as you can -- but then read this one, and the other two in this author's poker series, and the entire story will fall neatly into place. Your eyes will suddenly open, and you'll do what I did: "Ahhh, yes! Now I get it!." And that's why you need to read this book.  Nothing useful January 9, 2007Dustin Leary (Mountain View, CA USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful This is just some guy trying to cash in on the poker craze. It reads like an 8th grade essay... It's just full of stuff rehashed from other sources. Nothing new here. I have read an awful lot of poker books, so maybe I'm biased or picky... But, I like to pick up at least 1 or 2 'new things' from a book, and this had nothing. | |||||||||||
