Spanier writes about the people, the games, the great hands, the strange hands, winning hands, failed bluffs and remarkable skills of some of the best players in the world. The book is also a tutorial. Spanier analyzes many hands, many situations-not in a statistical or technical sense, but from a player's standpoint-he shows the hands, relays the moves and acts like an astute "kibitzer" who narrates to all who will listen what has occurred and why. He gets to the point with quick and to-the-point sentences and examples. Sample: "It was the hand of the decade, a dream hand, perfectly played. It happened in a $5-$10 blind pot-limit Texas hold 'em game at the Mirage in...

Poker tournaments are very different from conventional poker games: Chips change value; rebuys are available; players adjust their playing strategy according to rebuys, etc. There are very few players who excel at both live action and tournament play, but it can be done. To be one of those players you have to learn when, where and how to shift gears to survive. Author Suzuki (a pen name) has played many poker tournaments and understands the underlying theory that governs tournament play so this book should prove helpful to virtually everyone interested in this form of poker.
