The strategy in this book is too old, with all the new young players these methods would be way too mild. Aggression is the name of the game today.

This review is from: The Secret to Winning Big in Tournament Poker (Paperback)
It's important to note that this book deals with limit hold'em tournaments (though many of the concepts apply to other games as well as big bet tourneys), and that it was written more than ten years ago, so there are a few details about how tournaments are run, that have changed. Keeping these limitations in mind, this book will be a great help to anyone who wishes to succeed in tournaments.
Buntjer examines every facet of a tournament, and describes what to look for, and how to play. He takes the reader chronologically through a tournament. At every step he discusses key concepts. Furthermore, Buntjer accomplishes this in a clear and simple style. It's easy to understand for the beginner or experienced player.
This leads to the main criticism. The author makes it sound extremely easy. Winning limit hold'em tournaments is not easy. Luck plays as large a role as the quality of the competition. However, if one studies this book, it will be much easier than otherwise. Good luck.
