They won't tranform your game or anything but they have some helpful ideas in them. Anything that helps you to think about your game can only be a good thing in my opinion. As long as you approach a book critically there can be no such thing as a bad poker book. Having said that these are not great poker books and if your poker book time or budget is restricted then there are probably more useful books out there.

It is full of tips and ideas designed to get you thinking in a strategic manner when you are playing MTT's. |
