Kurzbeschreibung
The world of tournament poker is growing at an amazing rate, and one of the most significant areas of growth has been the increased interest in no-limit hold'em tournaments. Hold'em, as opposed to standard stud poker games, has boomed in popularity and so have related tournament events including much larger, no-limit events than ever before - including the four no-limit hold'em events at the World Series of Poker. Tournament play is changing. Most tournaments in the United States are nonsmoking, more novice and intermediate players are playing in no limit games, and more players are playing on the Internet and via satellite than ever before. While tournament rules still aren't standardized, some keys to tournament play and strategy can help players be more effective. Readers learn how to make the best use of their breaks, how to study the blind levels ahead of time to prepare for play, tricks for calculating chip stacks quickly, and how to adjust play for stacks and round timing. Whether a fast-moving, low-buy-in tournament or a five-day main event, "The Pocket Idiot's Guide[trademark] to Tournament Poker" will quickly become a must-have for a player's library. Learn about slow increases, round times, blinds, final table play, and the pluses and minuses of each. Find ways to adjust your strategy not just for the games but also for limits, length of rounds, big and small stacks, and other factors in today's tournament trends.

Good thinking but too basic
4. Mai 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
I can believe Mr. Apostolico would make a tough tourney opponent.Unfortunately this isn't The Idiot's Guide, it's The
Pocket Idiot's Guide. It's not everything, it's everything that fits in your back pocket.
The whole thing runs about 200 pages and there's an awful lot of the basics covered here: examples of HE poker hands, a glossary, where to find poker tournaments, and on and on.
I'm looking forward to his book later in the year on the Pro Poker Tour. That may well be a worthwhile read.
For now, read one of Dan Harrington's tournament poker books instead. He knows his stuff. (If you know the ranking of poker hands and have played a few times, you can follow it.)
For HE in general, read Getting Started in Hold 'em by Ed Miller for basics and the mindset needed for Texas Hold'em.

This is a great book to get familiar with the mechanics of tournament poker, which are quite different from a normal cash game. It also gives some valuable tips about how to play in different stages of a tournament and what aspects are crucial to staying in the game. I highly recommend this book as an entry level guide.
A wealth of advice, counsel, warnings, suggestions, strategies and tactics on every aspect and sequence of tournament play
9. August 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
Tournament poker, especially that form called "No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em" has become something of a national phenomena over the past few years. Now tournaments are played in every major American city, are all over the television airwaves, and easily available online. David Apostolico has won poker tournaments in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, online gaming websites, .and writes a monthly poker column for "TopPair Magazine". In The Pocket Idiot's Guide To Tournament Poker, Apostolico draws upon his more than twenty-five years of experience to introduce the reader to the rules of poker, layout basic tactics and strategies, find a suitable tournament, and become a better poker player -- especially in a tournament setting. One of the principle advantages of The Pocket Idiot's Guide To Tournament Poker over the many "how to" books on poker that are now available, is that this one is quite literally "pocket sized" and can be slipped into the shirt or coat pocket and taken along to the tournament table for reference. Offering a wealth of advice, counsel, warnings, suggestions, strategies and tactics on every aspect and sequence of tournament play, no novice poker player or aspiring professional can afford to be without their own well read copy of The Pocket Idiot's Guide To Tournament Poker.
