Here’s a well-written book about a professional writer who discovered poker, immersed herself in the game, and eventually went under, leaving nothing of her former self above water but her hat and eyeglasses.

 HOW TO BEAT SIT-&-GO POKER TOURNAMENTS
by Neil Timothy
Price ... $14.95

Sit-n-go tournaments make up about half the tourney action in online poker. They exist in land-based card rooms as well. The author claims there's a lot of dead money in these events because people don't know how to play the right strategy. He shows how strategy differs from live action and from multi-table tournaments, with information about when to play conservatively, when to get aggressive, when to be hyper aggressive, as well as how to play early, short-handed, on the bubble, in the money and heads up. 176 pages, indexed, paperbound, 2008.

TOURNAMENT HOLD'EM HAND BY HAND
by Neil D. Meyers
Price ... $19.95

The author believes that most tournament play advice is dead wrong. That's because most of it is geared toward those huge events seen on TV, the ones that last for days rather than a few hours. The typical tournament ($40-1,000 buy-in) is faster and requires more than a desperate attempt to survive. With that in mind, the book has four chapter devoted to teaching the reader how to win despite a run of bad cards; how to assess good value tournaments and avoid bad ones; how to play short-stacs; how to build a big stack and use it as a weapon; how to take advantage you position and when and how to change pace as the blinds and antes increase. 177 pages, paperbound, 2008.
