No news is good news

Not much poker news from me today. Started my day off badly with a few suckouts going against me on Pokerstars, but pulled it back and ended up ahead for the day. In poker any day in the black is always a good day.

Topic of the day: The Full Tilt Poker Strategy Guide: Tournament Edition (Book Review)

Just finished reading this new book over the weekend. The Full Tilt Poker Strategy Guide (Tournament Edition) features a dozen world-class poker players who tell you what it takes to make the final table at a major tourney and how to up your game to a higher level. Included in the dozen players are two World Series of Poker winners—Huck Seed and Chris Ferguson. The others are Howard Lederer, Phil Gordon, Gavin Smith, Ted Forrest, David Grey, Mike Matusow, Andy Bloch, Rafe Furst, Richard Brodie and Keith Sexton.

There are 19 meaty chapters to this book. Subjects include no-limit play and the Theory of Leverage; Play Before the Flop; Play After the Flop; Big Stack Play; Short-Stack Play and Online Tournament Strategy. Chapters also focus on pot limit hold'em; limit hold'em; Omaha eight or better, and pot limit Omaha. Chapters also discuss seven card stud tournament play; seven stud eight or better and one on razz.

Even though I don't play a lot of tournaments this book still had a lot of very interesting material and was well-edited. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to improve their tournament game.
