Are some of the concepts applicable to cash games?

[/ QUOTE ]

not really....some of the position stuff gives a few ideas on how to mix up things... but, it's mainly a strategy designed for fast-paced tournies

Yep, exactly. Particularly multi-table SNG's. 1-table SNGs(and he does mention this) have a flat enough payout scheme that his ideas aren't going to work as well.

I don't think PTF would work for cash games. A big part of PTF is people afraid of busting out and increased pressure due to blinds. In a cash game, people can reload and blinds never increase, which nullifies a great deal of the motivating factors behind Snyder's thinking.

IMO there is just one good reason for reading that book.

Afterwards you are able to identify opponents who play with these guidelines quickly and can crush them easily.

I have been looking to pick up a book on tourneys and after reading the above, I knew what book to get.

After reading PTF, I now have a better understanding of position and using my chips as a weapon. Also with various types of tourneys to enter, this book helped me understand some of the differences.

To get me started Im going to apply these ideas in the 45-man sng's on stars. Anyone have any feedback playing these?
