Hi Guys:
Thanks for the preliminary support on this exciting new project. I believe even experienced players will sharpen their skills immensely with the strategies and hand analyses in this book. Here are a few of the topics I address which should be of value to players of all levels, yet receive insufficient attention, IMO: 1. How the cEV of a given play is only one factor affecting your SNG equity; 2. Distinguishing Steal raises from Value raises and using this info to decide on a steal-based versus re-steal based high-blind strategy; 3. Defeating tight-aggressive opponents; 4. Tilt avoidance and SNG Pyschology; 5. Reading opponents via software versus manual observation; 6. Rake effects on long-term profit; 7. When your cards are irrelevant; And perhaps most important: 8. How NEVER to get blinded out. The HOH's are fantastic books, and I have read each one several times. But there are vast differences between MTT and SNG play (more details on these differences in my book), and so I feel a separate text for SNGs is needed in the poker literature. Speaking of which, I just played the EPT Monte Carlo event, and will begin by posting several key hands in the MTT forum. My MTT play is not as great a strength for me, so any comments you guys have on those hands would really be appreciated. In the meanwhile, I will post more of my SNG thoughts/strategies in the STT forum when I return to the US later this week. All the best, Collin |
