I just received a review manuscript of "The Full Tilt Poker Strategy Guide: Tournament Edition". It is apparenly scheduled for release in June. I had never heard of this book receiving the review copy, but it looks interesting, and I thought I'd give you guys some of the details.
Here is a link to the book on Amazon.
This is not a review, since I have not read the book yet, just some info about it. I'll post some opinions in a couple days after I've had a chance to read it.
- The book is edited by Michael Craig; each chapter is written by a different "Full Tilt" pro.
- It is mostly geared toward Hold-em, but contains chapters on most of the other popular games.
- It is apparently entirely gearded toward tournaments, hence "Tournament Edition". I'm not sure whether this means there will also be a "Cash Game Edition". Strangely enough, there is a "Tournament Razz" chapter, but not specifically a HORSE or mixed-game chapter.
- It's a little over 400 pages long. A couple sections still appear to be incomplete in the review copy, so it might actually be slightly longer.
