Tournament Poker Book ...

That is right dave ANOTHER post by me. Some would accuse me of padding my posting statistics. But I see it was getting valuable information for free with a bonus at the end. ;)

Following up my "i stink at tournament" thread I have decided I am going to try to read the best tournament poker book available. Unfortunately, I do not know what it is.

Currently I owe the Sklansky Advanced tournament poker book and some book by Buntjer with a computerized font on the front (I don't remember what it was called). Somewhere I have McEnvoy's tournament poker (the red one) but not sure where it is ... I think the professor swindled it.

What do you think is the best? What is the best way to improve my multi-table game? Any advice would be helpful ... and I will tell you how helpful once I read your response!

Thanks in advance!

    In order of importance to me:

    (1) Sklansky Tournament Poker. The better I feel about my own abilities and the more savvy I become the more I like the book. In short, I think this book is brilliant. There are many VERY smart things in it. I didn't get it at first though.

    (2) D.R. Sherer's tournament book. The simplest explanation of a POWERFUL approach to tournament play.

    (3) Buntjer's tournament book. Also a good explanation of tournament play.

    I am not fond of McEvoy since I find it has very little real content. A lot of broad general statements, nothing concrete enough for me (codicil: It was the ONLY book I studied prior to playing the 1998 $1500 7-stud/8 tournament and I managed 5th place having never played the game before that day so it can't ba all bad).

    McEvoy and Cloutier Tournament practice hands is pretty good too.

    That is good because I am reading the sklansky book for the first time. A lot of the concepts (so far) are ones my friends and I talk about ... minimizing risk by avoiding slight positive situations for the potential for bigger ones down the road.

    I will let you know when I run into problems. Thanks for your quick response! (I mean you are no scotty, but hey not bad!)
