I just started reading it last night, and it does have some specific strategies for limit, pretty interesting so far. I will see if I can pick up McEvoy's book as well. I don't mind paying for it if it has some useful tips. Thanks guys! | | Static Link |

Just finished rereading it, as I've lately been interested in limit hold'em tourneys as well.
Tournament Poker for Advanced Players does have a lot of info relevant to limit tourneys. Also a good sized section about no-limit. | | Static Link |

Yeah, I've changed my mind - McEvoy is a good read just for analysis of his strategy, it's a worthwhile exercise even though you won't come away with any great advice. ed is right, though. Borrow it, don't buy it (or get a cheap used copy if possible?). Sometimes reading books with suboptimal strategy is a great idea as long as you can make the distinctions between the good and the bad. | | Static Link |

Forum: Bonus Whores | | Sorry I can't recommend a book to read, but I can tell you not to bother with McEvoy's Tournament Poker book. It really offers nothing other than common sense and basic tournament strategy. | | Static Link |

Forum: Bonus Whores | I've read some books on NL tourny strategy, and lots on limit cash games, but I haven't come across anything on limit tourny. Does anyone know of a good book you can recommend, or online resource? There is a live limit tourny I want to try, up to 700 entries. I plan to qualify thru their one table satellite, with top 2 getting a buy in to the tourny, so good SNG strategy for LHE would be great too.
Thanks,
