Erick Lindgren\'s Book
I was wondering if anyone has read Erick Lingren's new book: Making the Final Table? Is it worth the $10? Will I learn anything new? I was particularly interested in how in depth he goes in his heads up section. I noticed it was only 200 pages so my initial thought was that it probably isn't very good. The Hold em related book I've already read are: TOP,HOH1 & 2,SS2,Phil Gordan's Little Green Book, SSHE, & Caro's Book of Tells. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Erick Lindgren\'s Book
Actually, the book is pretty good, but too short, and pretty basic. Probably worth 10 bucks, though, there are some good thoughts on tournament strategy.

Re: Erick Lindgren\'s Book
I've read the book, a full review will be forthcoming at some point.
The advice this book contains is very general, although worthwhile. As you point out, the book is short and contains a few interesting ideas, but it's more about a mental approach toward tournaments than it is a strategy book. Whether it's worth reading depends on your experience level and what you're looking for. By no means does it rank with the other books you mentioned. |

Re: Erick Lindgren\'s Book
Very basic book. I actually found it worth more for the entertainment factor than the poker stratigy. I don't think its worth buying but if you have an hour to kill in a bookstore...

Re: Erick Lindgren\'s Book
I haven't read it, but Shuffle up and Deal was another WPT book and it was too basic. I expect the buyers that WPT are trying to attract are not very advanced. I know Antonio Esfandiari also has a WPT book coming out as well. If you like these guys, it might be nice to see what they are thinking, but dropping $10-20 everytime a book comes out gets old since so many new books are always coming out. Phil Gordon's latest book was a really nice surprise. I would bet this Lindgren book is too short and basic to be worthwhile for you.
