If a book on SnG\'s came out, wouldn\'t they die?
 

Since SnG's are relatively easy to learn how to play, and can be multitabled easily almost without even paying attention, wouldn't they die if a SnG book came out?

Or at least become more difficult. ROI would drop significantly at each level, and everyone would play tight early levels.

Thoughts on this?

Since SSHE is so relatively easy to play and multi-table, if a book came out teaching people how to play the game properly...wouldn't it die? Wait, there IS a definitive work on SSHE...and 95% of players can't be bothered to read it. No one studies something they think they already know (which is the case of many, many online players)...and very few people wish to "study" their pure-enjoyment hobby (which is the case of many other online players).

No, I don't think a book on SnG's would kill the game. I think it would have relatively little effect.

With all the Poker on tv people think the stuff they see is all that happens. They forget about the hours of boredom and folding before they reach final table. Comparing final table to a SNG is a mistake many make. I agree many people feel they know enough and wouldn't even bother.

Each time a new book comes out I worry that everyone is going to become an expert and the easy games are going to dry up. But I agree, nobody wants to put the work in, most people just want to have fun playing (and there's nothing wrong with this) so I don't worry anymore when a good book comes out. The other thing about SSHE is that the strategies are not easy to apply -- IMO you have to study and re-study that book in order to make it work for you. Those who read is quickly only once become LAG IMO.

Well, I think SnG's are even easier than limit.

Im also getting paranoid, and always wonder why people even wanna put info out. I may be leaving my day job and doing this for a living, so...

I learned the basics from reading, and found thats it usless to read anymore concepts without putting them to practice, ofcourse. When people DO pick up some information, they realize the same.

Compare live play to online, you can't say those books don't change the game. Also, Im pretty sure there is almost nothing out there about SnG's, that makes a huge difference.

Whatever, Im tired. Ill fire up some games though. Thanks for your thoughts

Me to my buddy(who luckboxed his way into a seat and is a horrible player) a week before we fly to vegas to play in the ME of the WSOP.

Me: Hey, I just finished reading this book (HOH vol. 1) on Strategy for no limit holdem tournies, you want to look it over, it has some good stuff in there.

My Buddy: No, I don't want to cloud my mind, I don't really want to have to think too much.
