SNG Obsessed

[Djangopoker]

Okay, say you've decided to devote your entire life to playing SNG's(i.e. moving to a deserted island that, oddly enough, has cable internet) and you can only bring 5 SNG related poker books.

What are they?

[jaydoggie]

i couldnt name one

[AtticusFinch]

1) The Theory of Poker - Sklansky
2) No Limit Texas Hold 'Em - Daugherty & McEvoy
3) Harrington on Hold'Em
4) Tournament Poker for Advanced Players - Sklansky

And my dark-horse pick:
5) Fundamental Secrets of Winning Poker - Mike Caro

[pastabatman]

What a depressing scenario! I can only think of four:
Theory Of Poker
Harrington On Hold Em Vol 1
Harrington On Hold Em Vol 2
Tournament Poker For Advanced Players

But I'd trade them all for access to this forum.

Is HOH2 out yet?

[pastabatman]

Nope. Hopefully UPS delivers to this island.

What are they?

Superfluous

I don't know why TPFAP is on so many lists. It was the most useless book I ever read. Completely content-free.

[codewarrior]

1) almost useless
2) useless
3) useless
4) useless, except for two pages...
5) useless

do you see why? /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[johnny005]

I THINK ONLY ONE WOULD DO
1) Aleomagus's sng book. (I think he is still working on it)

Ok, ok, those are just my 5 favorite poker books. I know they're not exactly focused on SNGs. So sue me.

HOH at least has a number of examples from SNGs, though. You might upgrade it to "almost useless" on your list.

[Scuba Chuck]

If you really want some good reading material, you should ask everyone on this forum their top 5 favorite SnG threads. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

Hell, even if you got their top 1.

Scuba, whats your favorite SNG thread ? besides Aleos ? I'm still learning /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Scuba Chuck]

My alltime favorite SnG thread:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=1141423&page=&view=&sb=5& o=&fpart=all&vc=1

Be sure to read all the way through, and if the comment from hhughes doesn't hit you, then there's something wrong with you. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[The Yugoslavian]

Ummm, yeah. This is a good thread and all but not necessarily the most informative.

That being said I'm too tired to post any that are informative. Hell, just look at the Curtains/Dali/Willie pissing match that's going on -- that's decent enough.

Or look at that thread that Scuba is rippin' sh!t up in -- that threads probably evne more informative (or studyable).

Or read anything posted by Irieguy where he talks about strategy (this holds for so many other posters).

Or just open any thread that has over 20 posts (and does not include a flame war).

[Scuba Chuck]

Yeah, but there's nothing funny in those threads. If you're stuck on a deserted island with just reading material, and no internet connection, I wanna laugh!

Well ...I guess there is that beautiful girl thing too.

[pastabatman]

Is it really the concensus here that you all are beyond gaining *anything* from poker books? Wow - maybe I'm not yet worthy to be even reading posts here - I'm no where near being able to consider TOP dispensable, and HOH, for me, was one enlightenment after another.
