Books on Tournament Play

[PennDenn]

Are there any books worth reading on hold'em tournaments either on line or in casino?

I'm sure there's a bunch more.

they really need to come out with some more, i'm dissatisfied with the ones out now. Zen Of Poker is not a tourney book, i bought it for other reasons along with Theory Of Poker, and felt i wasted my money on both.

hopefully Dan Harrington's book and Super System 2 will be worth it.

I know Zen isn't tourney specific, but you really felt like you wasted money on it? I feel like its one of the more important books out there for a tourney player.

yeah, i felt Zen and TOP were a waste of money. not that i can't take SOMETHING from either book, but when i spend my money, i'm looking to take MORE than just SOMETHING. alot of what i took from both books, i already knew. i'm now becoming very weary of phrases such as, "THE MOST IMPORTANT", "THE MOST INFLUENTIAL", "THE FOREMOST AUTHORITY ON", "CONSIDERED A MUST-HAVE BY ALL" when it comes to poker books. i usually end up disappointed after every purchase.

TPFAP is about tournaments in general and maybe 25% of its examples are hold 'em.
