Default Re: Did anybody like Championship Satellite Strategy?

I completely agree the Ciaffione book (which I think is the best) and supersystem are better.

You never do say what you found of value in CSS. I read your first two posts, and you state nothing.
That is why I replied as such. I would defend my statements, but you never defended your reasoning that it was better.

I do think the Cloutier portion is good because he explains the value of not burning chips, which is very important, and many people don't realize. He also discusses why draws are so bad in NL tourneys and how he dislikes flush draws (people over play these in tourneys on medium stacks, when it is obvious when hit).
CSS rehashes much of the other book, which I found worthless.

I do wish some book would get into short stack play and how aggressive you should be. Actually CSS is completely wrong as they talk about being at 3x the BB and how you should play. It should have told you to get your chips in before you get so short.

Mason even states how much the book is complained about..cause it sucks.
