Well, the fact that I'm sitting here racking my brain for something positive to write about the second half of the book tells its own story. Took me a whole cup of morning tea to come up with... erm, well, he knows what he is talking about!

I have not read the book, but apparantly its alright up to a certain level, ie will probs teach you to beat small stakes sngs at a reasonable clip, but will still lose in higher games.

Above link is STTF forum on 2p2's reaction to it, which is probably the most informed opinion you will get.

exactly, i dont think theres anything a sit and go book could come out with thats not available on the net for freeaments

In fact knowing that pretty much every optimum strategy has been discussed and illuminated for beginners on the net for free why would you even bother coming out with a sit and go strategy book?

I've just finished reading it.  Free player points have their uses...

I wouldn't recommend some of it past $50 sngs tbh.  Whilst the theory sounds reasonable and largely the same as what I had intuitively worked out from experience, in practice I think you get called down a lot more nowadays then he seems to expect.  Well, I get called down light a lot anyway!!  The section on pro play was the biggest disappointment for me, adding nothing extra over and above what a player with a few thou sngs under their belts should already have.  Yes, people are using PT and ICM tools.  Yes, plenty of people clearly aren't, given some of the play on display at $200 and less.  And yes, it should be quite obvious to you quite quickly which players are which.  Apart from confirmation that I am on the right lines, I only got 1 (maybe 1 and a half) different angles to think about.

Now I'm going to read the 2+2 thread and see what they say...
