Book Reviews of Sit 'n Go Strategy
Book Review: Very valuable information
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have any interest in short, no-limit hold'em tournaments (Sit 'n Gos), this is the book to get. If you are just starting out with poker, I'd first recommend reading a basic book on low-limit hold'em such as "Winning Low-Limit Hold'em" by Lee Jones (also a must-have book in my opinion).
This is not a book that you will sit down and read in a day to get its full benefit. Throughout the book, Collin gives examples of hundreds of hands and how you should play them in the different stages of a SNG tournament. I find myself going over some of the examples twice to make sure I understand his logic. For instance, it was really hard for me at first to play aggressive in the high blind stage of a tournament, but doing so improved my game greatly.
I highly recommend this book to any Sit 'n Go player out there. I keep going back to it.
Book Review: My favorite poker book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has become my favorite out of the dozens of poker books that I own. Before reading this book I was a marginal to losing player at on-line poker. Since reading this book, I have become a consistent winner at low and medium stakes SNG's. I honestly can't say that about any other poker book I have read.
Once you have read and understand the material in the low-blind, mid-blind and high blind sections it becomes an invaluable reference for constantly tuning your game. The organizational structure of the book makes it easy to quickly find a situation that you might want to review after an on-line session.
This book paid for itself within 24 hours of reading it. If you are serious about playing SNG's, but haven't been getting the results you desire, then this book is a must read.
Book Review: This Book Officially Closes No-Limit SNG Strategy
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a winner at SNGs from $6 to $60 over thousands of games. I was able to breeze through the hand examples and thought processes and finished the book in a hour at the bookstore. Nevertheless, this book is totally awesome.
SNGs are a relatively simple form of poker, but the concepts required to succeed are completely different from any other form of NL Hold'em. This book is written by a reputable and consistent winner. It covers everything from SNG theory, calculating tournament equity, and proper aggressive strategy.
For sit'n go strategy this book is the absolute nuts. I'd hate it if everyone read this book, but I'm recommending it because the author deserves the $$$ for closing the chapter on Sit'n Go strategy.
Book Review: Great Intro to SNGs
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book as a novice poker player and was immediately able to start applying the principles to the $1 SNGs I was playing. The criticisms that this book only applies to mid-to-high stakes, or that some of the strategies are wrong / ineffective / outdated, are simply not true. If you understand the theory (which is really quite straight forward) then you will just get more opportunities to apply it in the micro stake games (weathering the odd bad beat, but generally crushing the looser/clueless opposition).
There are certainly more advanced books out there, and I have no experience playing anything beyond the $5 games, but if you are starting out then getting your head around this book will definitely make you a solid winning player.
Book Review: Highly Informative Book on Beating SNG's
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like how the book is geared toward online SNG play. There are so many players just doing it for fun, and Moshman goes into detail on exploiting such weak players. He discusses how to use software to monitor multiple tables, how/when to force a play as short stack, and coming over top of HBLs (weak recreational players who treat the blinds as an ante and limp even into high blinds).
Preliminary concepts such as pot odds, expectation versus equity, etc. are also treated in full for newer players. I rate the section on manual reading very highly, and the discussion of buy-in differences and bankroll decisions are likewise very useful for many forms of poker, live or online.
Highly recommended.
