Product Description
This is the first book to provide winning strategies for the small buy-in ($100 or less) no-limit hold'em tournaments that have exploded in poker rooms all over the country-and on the Internet. The strategies for small buy-in no-limit hold'em tournaments are similar to the big-money games, but the important factors-hand value, position, aggression and others, and speed of play-cause a radical change of strategy. Snyder recounts his own experience with these methods at a win rate of almost 300% and gives readers specific strategies for winning the big money available in prizes at the hundreds of small buy-in no-limit hold'em tournaments taking place weekly around the country and on the Internet.

 great July 20, 2010

This book is deffinetly a book that everybody should read if they want to win money in the small fast tournaments. We all now what cards we should be playing, but cards alone will not win you money often enough to make a profit, because you dont get those good cards often enough. This book talks about how to win by playing your position and chip stack along with a great hand once in a while. This is something that the other books dont tell you.
Very fresh look at "Fast" tournament poker July 10, 2010
mesham
I don't know if there is anything else on Fast Tournament poker. Very good examples of why you are shorter stacked than you think and need to make a "move". Better to go out swinging than with a whimper. I like the way he makes observations of today's top poker pros that understand this as well. Highly recommend.
 Nice book for Online Players March 29, 2010
Mauro Pablo Blanc
I have purchased this book in order to improve my tournament skills. I'm mainly an online player and due to my lack of bankroll I play only small stakes tournaments, from 3USD to 5USD MTT buy-in. I found this to be a great book not just to fast live tournaments but also to regular live tournaments on the level I play. Why? becasue the people who play this type of tournaments are often very loose (they usually call with Ace-rag regardless of they position) and you can usually take the pot on the flop is no ace came. The Rock-Paper-Scissors analogy is just great and it will help you improve your poker skills. A definitely must read for small stakes online tournament players as well as for those who play turbo live tournaments.
Nowhere to be found such content!!! January 2, 2010

3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Now this is a book you cannot miss!!!
1) I wonder why people say its so good and give it only 4 stars... This book is so focused, so well constructed and it has such valuable info that it deserves nothing more than 5 genuine stars.
2) It's a very honest book. If you want the best out there for fast tournaments, both live and online, this is the book for you. Forget about Harrington (great for Big, slow tournaments like WSOP), forget about all others talking great about cash games. This one is for all of us playing in the internet in fast tournaments, and the ones that try out their chances in their local Casino fast tournaments.
3) Having played lots of online tournaments, I found myself making most of the mistakes mentioned in this book. And somehow I felt that i had to make some changes like the ones proposed in this book, but I never really knew what changes exactly and most of all WHY!!! Here you will find all the details on what to do and why it works.
4) Though that rock/paper/scissors metaphor does not work for me, it describes some great info about the way your chips/cards/position interact during a tournament. And it tells you why you can't rely on your cards only, and you have to learn how to play your position and your chip stack.
5) How about some hints? Here you will learn how to determine if a tournament is fast and how fast it actually is... And then you will learn how to adjust your game according to the tournament speed. You will learn how the initial stacks, rebuy or addon options affect your play etc. Damn, there is stuff here you can't imagine how important they are, and they are here for you to grab.
I can't say enough about how much I have learned about tournament play from this book. And since I don't participate in big slow tournaments, Harrington actually had not worked for me so far, I always seemed to be left short stacked, because of the tight and cautious way I had to play. This book liberated me and made me much more effective in my play.
thanks mr. Snyder
Well done

Excellent book for learning the ins/outs of holdem fast tournament play. The author is very frank and clear in his explanation of poker strategies. A very thorough and in depth author, that goes beyond just strategies.
