Sit 'N Go strategy-reviews?

[DevinLake]

Because I'm a mod of STTF, I feel a need to make a few comments:

1) STTF did over react to the fact that none of high stakes sit no go players were consulted about a book on sit n goes.

However, all the hate towards the STTF hate is also an over reaction. So, why doesn't everyone just shut up about it and let the book stand on it's own merits?

2) There is a book review thread in the STTF. It has not been trashed. Slim pointed out some flaws, but gave it a good review. I've read part one so far, and thing it was good straight forward advice for beginners.

3) Skalansky et al. sit n goes credentials. No one asked them if they are good at sit n goes, because no one has played them in sit n goes because they do not play the high stakes sit n goes, so therefore, they must not be well versed in sit n goes. Pretty simple logic and something I'm sure David will admit to.

Also, if you want a soft high stakes sit n go, seek out one with a few FTP pros playing.

4) Collin has offered up the screen names he played under. They were not useful in defining his credibility as a sit n go player as his sample size was very small on the various database websites. This is just a fact, no a judgement on Collin's credentials.

5) Collin had an excerpt from the book published in the magazine a couple months ago about restealing. I read it and qualitatively the resteal examples looked marginal at best. So, I made a post in the magazine forum about his example and gave mathematical analysis to show how one should be going about thinking about sit n goes.

The lack of math and general light discussion in that section probably sparked some of the STTF doubt about the book.
