Re: Anyone read How to Win No-Limit Hold\'em Tournaments by McEvoy & Vines?
Why is McEvoy writing a book with this title? He has an appalling tournament record and Daniel Negraneau says he is the worst player to ever win the WSOP. McEvoy has averaged less than 100k per year in tournament prizes since 1983. This doesn't take into account his buy in fees, so it isn't too unlikely that he is actually a losing player.
Somehow McEvoy manages to enter a lot of tournaments. Inevitably someone who plays that many events is going to money/win some of them. He's managed to get a lot of book deals and a column in cardplayer somehow, and so people think that he is an important figure in poker. I'm not convinced.
