Tournament poker for advanced players.

I never read it but I heard it will make your brain have spasms with all the math and calculations.  Poker Theory is an excellent book and the Harrington series is priceless.   Some of Sklansky's books turn poker into rocket science, but for $10.99 I'm sure you'll learn something more valuble in that book. 

I recomend Championship No Limit and Pot Limit Holdem by Tom Mcevoy and TJ Cloutier

I've read 6 or 7 poker books, the one i like best is Why you lose at poker written by Russell Fox and Scott T. Harker,,,,,,,,,,, they have chapters on reason's you lose such as,,,,,,,,,,

 

playing too many hands.

not recognizing you are beat.

poor bluffing habits.

making mechanical errors.

you dont have an adequate bankroll.

you dont understand the math of poker.

you should'nt be playing,,,, tired, sick ect.

not properly educated.

not taking the other player's into consideration.

bad luck.

game selection.

playing too many tournaments.

 

I got this book free at Pokerstars by using frequent player points,,, the book has a little over 200 pages.

 

 

I have the Tournament Poker for Advanced Players and I'd recommend spending your money elsewhere to be honest.

 

It deals a LOT with expected value and profitability of hands over the long term.  Talks about short tables, the cost of moving up one spot for more money v. winning a tournament. 

Some of the early stuff (gap concept, etc.) is helpful, but I've read my Harrington books about 3 times each and consult them often.  They are way more helpful then the Sklansky book.

But I also tend to play more SNG's and home games then bigger tournaments.  IF you are a big time tournament player....especially brick and mortar stuff....then I'd recommend it.

But I personally think there are other books out there that are more helpful (I have about 10 books overall and this is the one I read the least...FYI).  GL

I have played at Canterbury, but not much lately.  I had some pretty good success initially and then not so much....I just kind of stopped going (not to mention, when I go, end up staying all night and am usually wrecked for a few days.   More convenient on-line and I'm not the hugest limit fan (although they probably have NL tables out there now....I haven't been in a couple of years).
