MTT literature

ive seen a thread similiar to this one, but not exactly. i am going to start studying the game a little more in depth, and i would like a suggestion on the greatest book written for MTT strategy specifically. i know of books written about the whole game in general, but would like a reccomendation on a MTT holdem book. thanx!

Harrington on Holdem series. They're more specific to tourneys in general (STTs+MTTs), but they apply very well to MTTs.

thanx chuck, ill check it out. you know anything about doyle brunsons super system II?

Yep. It's not a tourney book.

Depends on what kind of tourney you are talking about. If NL Hold'em, it is not. But, if you need help with various games, it is good.

thanx pig, atleast 90% of my playing is NL, so doyles book would do me justice. appreciate the replies.

i read doyles 1st super system, and it became like a bible to me. but for mtt's exclusively, theres probably a better book out there.

has n e 1 seen great improvement in your success after reading harrington on hold 'em or doyles super system?

I wouldn't have suggested HoH if I hadn't. Supersystem isn't nearly as helpful IMO.

o ok, cool then, cuz ppl have recommended HoH but i was just wondering if ppl have actually seen success using this book or if they jus spread wat they hear...so thank u

I recently read "Pwerful Profits from Tournament Poker" by Victor Royer and "Tournament Poker" by Tom McEvoy. I found both to be quite helpful. I am about halfway though HoH right now.

King when i first joined here Chuck recommended i read HoH. Best advice Ive ever had. Its made a major difference to my game and thats with me still being a bit too impatient. Before it would take me ages to hit my goal ie from R40 to R60 at a table ($8 to $12) now i do it on $0.1/$0.2 tables in a couple of hours.(depending on the day Im having of course).

I wouldnt just read one book. Ive read quite a few now and yes it has helped my game.

In my opinion, the problem with focusing on one book is that youre trying to copy someone elses style instead of developing your own.

HoH > any other MTT book. It is awesome! changed the way I think about the game.

Super System isn't really made for NL Holdem Tourneys(as was already said), but I think it's the greatest poker book ever for any serious player(No offense to the other books, of course.).
