Default General question, help much appreciated and needed

I've seen a lot of criticism for certain online books, I have two questions:
What're the best books for playing poker online?
(I'm a good player live but online I'm only a moderate winner at 33$ SitNgos or 1/2$ limit or.5/1$ NL)

Are there any books that talk about Single table Sit N GOs?
There's a lot of books on multi table tournaments like harrington on hold em but the final table section doesn't offer enough help for playing SitNGos usually since most ppl at SnGs don't get paid.
Thanks

We should petition Sklansky and Mason to write a SnG book for single tables,who's with me ?? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

1-Table Tourney Forum on this website is the best source.

There are two major differences between live and on-line poker. One is the lack of visual feedback on your opponents on-line. The other is that at any given level, on-line players are going to play tighter than B&M players. Odds are that a $0.50/1 game on-line will play about the same as a $2/4 or $3/6 game at your local B&M. Other than that, there are no secrets to on-line poker.

Most people at MTTs don't get paid either. The principles of bubble play, blind stealing, etc., don't change that much, there are just more people left in a bubble situation at an MTT than at a SnG.

Previous discussions here question whether there would be a market for such a book. The STT forum here has the best info on SnGs available anywhere, if you take the time to dig it out.
