Tournament poker is different from standard ring game poker. From a distance, it may look like a typical poker game, but there are many factors that can lead to proper strategy that is very different than what most players, (including good poker players), are familiar with.

Yet some people excel at tournament poker. This is not luck. These are players who have a good understanding of what the proper strategy adjustments are, and when they come into play. It is not a coincidence that the same players make it to the final table far more than their fair share

This text is the first book ever written that explains tournament strategies which only a small number of players have mastered. It assumes you already know how to play poker well, but aren't knowledgeable of tournament concepts and when and where to use them. Some of the ideas discussed include the effect of going broke, The Gap Concept, how chips change value, adjusting strategy because the stakes rise, all-in strategy, the last table, making deals, The "System," and much more.

Pokerplayer Magazine review top 10 strategy books

Until Harrington came along, this went unchallenged as the best book on the subject of tournament strategy. And its still the simplest. Sklansky illustrates his advice with large diagrams so theres no need to be put off by the rather intimidating Advanced tag in the title. Theres also a load of useful quiz summaries at the end to make sure youve been paying attention.
