Default Re: The Poker Tournament Formula by Arnold Snyder...

Nothing in the book contridicts any of this. The premise is that you need to get to the "crapshoot" with more chips and taking a "wait for premium cards" approach in the early going gives you no chance of going deep when the premium cards don't come and you've got very little time until the blinds start eating you alive.

This isn't a new idea. See the essay "Should You Play Too Many Hands Early in a Tournament?" in my book Poker Essays, Volume II.
