Volume I (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Winning-Poker-Tournaments-Hand-Time/dp/0974150274?&camp=2486&linkCode=wsw&tag=blondepoker-21&creative=8918) and Volume II (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Winning-Poker-Tournaments-Hand-Time/dp/0984143440?&camp=2486&linkCode=wsw&tag=blondepoker-21&creative=8918)

Don't know if these books have been discussed on here before (probably have), but just thought I'd ask to see if they're a worthwhile purchase from those who've read them.  I know some don't like poker books, but I find them ideal for train journeys and was looking for some good ones to get.

Other than these two, are there any good books people would recommend (for cash or tournament poker).  I know there was an ebook that Alex recommended, but that was slightly outside my price range.  Any others?

Sigh,thought you where giving your secrets away.

me too. pretty disappointed on opening the thread to find out kin's not written a book

:D 

It'd have to be called "How to bink a tournament every four years."

I believe he's looking for a publisher for his book on speed cameras first and then will work on the poker book.

I'm looking forward to the chapter on utilising the power of prayer to increase roi

Join a training site and download a bunch of ipod compatible/MP4 videos to stick on whatever phone you have and watch em on the train instead.

Or better yet, download Alan Partridge instead and wet yourself all the way up and down the country not caring what people think of you, as I tend to do on train journeys.

you just binked £18k.  just buy the books. :D

:D

Think I will.  Looks like no one else reads books any more, especially poker ones. 

I've read volume one and found it excellent. 3 different pros take you through a hand by hand analysis of what they did in certain spots and why. Insightful and an easy read too. So easy in fact, I've read it 3 times.

I was tempted to buy volume two as well, but was put off by some poor reviews.

I'd definitely recommend volume one though - go for it!

Looks like it worked this weekend!  Well played Alan :)up

Off to buy it now...

Cheers.  You can borrow my copy if you dont mind waiting till I'm next in Notts. Shouldn't be too long.

Volume 1 was good didn't realise volume 2 was out!

I bought both in the summer but am only part way through Vol 1.

They're very easy to dip in and out of, as they're all individual hand scenarios being discussed.  It's good to have a contrast from different styles of players too.

Definitely worth a read if you like poker books though.  Similar in style to Gus Hansen's book, although that covers one specific tournament.

Right, first one ordered and will probably order the other one as well.

Thanks :)up

vol 2 is just like vol 1 with people discussing hands except towards the end you and mantis start having digs at each other until cos shows up in his internet suit and sorts it all out

I think it's about time APAT had a serious look at there payout structures as well.
