In general, you'll want to avoid McEvoy's books. However, Championship Satellite Strategy is a very good book for someone who is new to satellites and 1 table tournaments. A lot of people also think highly of Hilger's book, although I haven't read it personally.

Ed Miller. Then Lee Jones. I wish I'd avoided Cloutier in the beginning of my reading.
If you can get Small Stakes Holdem...get that one, no question. |

If the Lee Jones book is the 3rd edition, then get that. If it's the 2nd, then get GSIH. My next choices would be Dr. Al's book, then One of A Kind. Hilger's book is ok, but read 2+2 strategy books first.
Championship Satellite Strategy is crap, IMO. If you want to learn SNGs, read Lee Jones' book and the SNG forum here. I haven't read any others on your list. |
