A good book for mtt
 

Hello, I only play cash and sng.

I want to play few mtt while I play my "normal games ".
I know this forum is good but don't have enough time to read it( sorry guys [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] ).

So, I want one book ( may be two ) to help me to get a grasp of this game. What type of raise should I do. How to play with a big stack, etc ...

I heard some good book was written recently, ( or will ).

Well, I hope I won't waste your time to much,do you have a good book to suggest to me ? Thank you very much

Standard answer for you. Read Harrington On Hold'em I + II and you'll take your tournament game to another level. His third book is a workbook to test if you've grasped the concepts...

Only poker books worth reading (+ Skalansky's TOP too I guess). Harrington is money.

Re: A good book for mtt
 

I read yet TOP.

I search a book focused on MTT, nothing else.

I know that I don't understand this type of game because I saw players do some little raises, such raises are bad both in Sng and Cash games. I feel I don't get the strategy of this type of game, and I want to learn it.

Harrington On Holdem.

Re: A good book for mtt
 

I think I have posted my choices before.
1. HOH
2. TPFAP - Sklansky
3. Making the Final Table - Lindgren
4. Little Green Book - Gordon

For no limit holdem in general NLHTP -- Sklanksy, which covers some shallow money issues primarily applicable to tournaments. D. Brunson's chapter in Super System for deep money play.

Harrington and Sklansky take a TAG approach, whereas Brunson and Lindgren take a LAG approach.

I don't agree that there are only a couple of books worth reading.

Usually they are bad in MTT's as well, if you already play SNG's and cash games MTT's kind of sit in the middle.

Cash = Deepstack
MTT = Shorterstack
SNG = Ultra Shortstack

Re: A good book for mtt
 

If you're a good cash game player you wont have to adapt you game much to succed in deep stack tournaments of course.

Although Harrington is a great book I would be wary of following like a bible like many do. When people do this they have possibly the easiest game to read and play against.

Re: A good book for mtt
 

I agree but its still the best book out there for mtt. Just be ready to mix up/adapt your play a little.

The book is very conservative and designed to keep you out of trouble but the foundation are super solid.
