Heads up NL Book

[Josh_sieg]

Hey everyone,
Sorry if this has been covered, but I couldn't find it in the search.
I was wondering if there are any good books that cover heads up no limit hold 'em. I think this may be a leak in my game as I play single table tournaments, and have by far more 2nd places than any other place.

Thanks for the help.

1. SnGs and NL holdem are 2 entirely different games, especially HU.

2. There are no good SnG books.

3. For good SnG info, spend a lot of time reading through the FAQ, posts, and archieves of the STT Forum.

Take a look at HOH II. There's a great HU section at the end. In fact, read HOH I if you haven't already.

Beware though that the hands he covers are from a large buy-in tournament, therefore the blinds and antes are small enough to allow for some poker to be played.

By the time SNGs get HU, there's usually not much room to maneuver...it pretty much comes down to an all or nothing type affair.

But there are still some important HU (as well as overall) concepts to be learned from the book(s).

I would get the entire Harrington Series on hold-em tourneys. Even though it does not specificly address sit-n-go many of the examples are single table. Volume 2 has a good heads up section and some of the volume 3 examples especially info on playing the bubble are very good.
