So yes its a whats the best book/ point me to the money question, but hear me out, I hate repetitive threads like that on a forum so im not intending to ask that.

Iv gathered Collin Moshman, 'SNG Stratagy' is regarded as the 'best' sng book.

But question; a) reading this alone, will it provide enough specialist knowledge on its own to see nice changes in your ROI
b) Is it simply the only SNG book out there, as iv not seen many others except for [ame="http://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Beat-Sit-Poker-Tournaments/dp/1580422233/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1208882043&sr=1-21"]How to Beat Sit-&-Go Poker Tournaments: A No-Limit Hold'em Guide to Beating Sit-&-Gos: Amazon.co.uk: Neil Timothy: Books[/ame] and
[ame="http://www.amazon.co.uk/MONTH-PLAYING-ONLINE-POKER-Step/dp/1550227882/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1208881839&sr=1-12"]EARN $30,000 PER MONTH PLAYING online poker: A Step-by-step Guide to Single-table Tournaments: Amazon.co.uk: Ryan Wiseman: Books[/ame]

Finally, i would consider myself intermediate-ish in my SNG knowledge, is Moshman the best choice for me or should I seek several books focusing on specialized theory's? Yes, i know reading more is always better...

Nick

His book is really good and you will learn a lot from it - but the sng game has developed a lot since he wrote it so not all of the strategies are still the best way to go.

There is no other sng book I would recommend. Your money is better spent paying a sng coach for lessons imo.

Indeed quite out dated these days, not sure about it. I'm sure it's good enough to beat micros but anything a step up, I think you would struggle with it these days.

Lmao yeah I'm rather non-shitty :)

My rates are incredibly reasonable and I vary them from person to person depending on stake/needs/financial situation.

Both moshman's and phil shaw's books are interesting and helpful but I do agree that you'll need more than that to be successful. Plenty of good coaches out there though :)

Or you could read the information, absorb it, then form your own strategies that best suit your style/overall game plan.

This ^

I'd recommend reading the book as it'll provide you with a good foundation in which to work from. Contrary to what some will have you believe.. you're never going to get 'the system','the blueprint', etc. of a completely 'black & white' method to what works (although with SNG's it's kinda close to this more so than other formats).
Bottom line, it for sure wouldn't hurt your game to give it a read.
