Although written for the small blind, fixed buy-in, live game, Mastering No-Limit Hold'em by Russell Fox & Scott T. Harker is a useful resource for the on-line Sit n Go tournament player. The authors, who are both experienced and successful players, combine their knowledge to offer a uniquely comprehensive book.
Here are a few of their thoughts that have special significance for Sit n Go players.
1) "We have found that the most noticeable tendency of tired players is for them to make bad decisions." Page 15.
2) "We suggest tight, straightforward play against a maniac." Page 17.
3) "It is far superior in no-limit to be the aggressor, especially when short-stacked." Page 18.
4) "Indeed, it is important to remember that people act based on their perception of reality, not the reality itself." Page 23.
5) "Less common is the occasion to move all-in before the flop when no one has yet raised. This play is usually made out of the blinds to win a large amount of blind/limp money already in the pot." Page 45.
Unique to their book is a Matrix discussion that advises starting hands for every position and practically every situation. These lessons alone are worth the price of the book. And, in many cases can be directly adapted for Sit n Go play.
This book is a valuable resource, offering many basic and insightful no-limit playing tips.
