Book Reviews of Sit 'n Go Strategy
Book Review: Now, this is a dangerous one!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll be honest right from the start:
I had lots of hesitation about reviewing this one.
I mean it helped me so much with Sit n' Go's that I am feared of what it would do if it was read from many more people. I would prefer not to face an opponent who read and understood its concepts.
OK, down to the bone of it: This book is not huge in content, which is good. Second, this book is not about how to learn playing poker, but it is about how to play Sit n' Go's. I mean cash games, Multi table and big live tournaments are so much different, that if you use some approach you developed on them you will fail. For example, try to play a Sit n' Go the "Harrington Way" and expect to be blinded out soon before you have any chance of making it into the money. Harrington has done a good job talking about Big tournaments and Sklansky, Brunson etc have also done great job in their fields. Believe me, I have bought and read all of them...
But this one is focused on one thing: How to beat the Sit n' Go tournaments. And it does a great job on this.
Its division into Low blind play / medium blind play / high blind play (although blurred at times, as it is on reality after all) is very effective.
Its examples and suggestions are all written in a very simple and understandable language.
The big plus in it is that it has examples with small variations that make it so much more useful! That means, it teaches you how to adjust your play in the conditions you have in front of you! That is (in my opinion) the most valuable concept of this book!
Want an example? Here is the first that I found in front of me, there are lots of them all around.
Example 2-19: with 50-100 blinds and 7 players, you have a stack of 1600 and hold a pair of 8's in the cut-off seat. How do you play?
Example 2-20: with 100-200 blinds and 7 players, you have a stack of 1600 and hold a pair of 8's in the cut-off seat. How do you play?
I won't give you the answer to it, you can always buy the book and see to it. But isn't it a surprise that there are different answers to it? And you will find such examples (with small/tiny changes that change your optimal play) in all places!
I won't write about anything you can read in other reviews. I will just say that (being a book lover) it was one of the rare times that I studied a book not page-by-page but word-by-word and one of the rare times I actually had a yello marker to mark all the interesting points in it! And believe me, I treat my books with such respect, that even the smallest mark on them annoyes me!
But this is not a simple book. This is a weapon, and for the growing field of poker players who love to play Sit n' Go tournaments, this one will be a revelation!
PS: If you do buy it and use it, email me and lets avoid each other in the tables. I play to win, and you won't make it easy on me...
PS2: the answers above are 1) (ex.2-19) raise to 300 chips and 2) (ex 2-20) raise all in. That's the easy part. The soul of it is in its why explanation... Go get the book and find out.
PS3: For the ones looking for deep concepts and theory, this is not a book for you. The writer doesn't want to go into much theory, Sklansky, Brunson, Harrington have covered these areas. For the beginner or intermediate ones playing online and trying to upgrade their game skills on Sit n' Go tournaments, what are you doing still reading this review? Go push the "Buy" button, you won't regret it!
PS4: Thanks, mr.Moshman, for a great book and your sharing of great ideas about the game.
