No.

I can recommend, however, that you not post the same question in 3 different forums, and that you do some reading and searching before you post an obvious question.

Harrington on Hold 'Em, Volumes 1 & 2 (and 3 too, I'm sure - waiting for my copy). Lots of examples are from SNGs. You might also want to check out Kill Phil. There is satellite-specific (single table qualifier) book by McEvoy & Daugherty, but I haven't read it. I seem to recall that the recommendations for it here were lukewarm. I'd be interested to hear a comparison of it to HOH and KP.

SNG Power tools is a very useful program that calculates your push equity when the blinds are high near the end of SNG's. I think the best source of information out there is our very own
SNG forum. Do some serious reading and posting there, it's probably the best way to get better.

Read all of Harrington's books.

Read Kill Phil.

Read Single Table Tournament Forum regularly.

There are no other sources I know of.

I think that The Harrington books polish over SNG's, he even says something like 'it's more about getting luck' (i'll look in the morning) I think that for low buy-in SNG's the correct strategy wouldn't even cover a page. Out last the crazies, play with weak players, and use sngpt to train for the bubble. Is there anything else low buy in players needs to learn???

Ed Miller's GSIHE has a brief section specifically devoted to SNG's. I read it a week ago, and I've cashed-in approximately 75% of the time since then....this is on $6, $11, and $22 buy-ins on PP.

Wow .. that is close to 7 out of 10, which also translates to 70 out 100

[captain2man]

Actually - it's more like 75 out of 100. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I would say that a 75% win rate on SNG's are impossible - so I'm hardly expecting to maintain that....Ed's book says that with proper strategy you can probably expect to win a prize on SNG's more than half the time.

But his section certainly helped - and getting some good cards hasn't hurt.
