Tournament poker is a tough game to play but the rewards for success can be huge. Even regular online tournaments offer substantial prizes running to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Jonathan Little, a highly successful poker professional who has won over $4 million in tournament play in just four years, explains exactly how to succeed in this highly competitive field.
Playing technically sound poker is crucial but this is far from the only skill necessary.
“Secrets of Professional Tournament Poker, Volume 1” deals with the fundamentals of play and how to handle varying stack sizes. It teaches the reader:
· Why tournaments are the most profitable form of poker
· When to play small ball and when to play long ball
· How to understand effective stack size
· How to tailor your play to winning, not just cashing
Jonathan Little is one of the premier tournament poker players in the world today. I personally have learned so much from him and you can too. Shannon Shorr

I probably have more than 60 poker books and I have read them all at least twice. For people who want to be competitive in MTTs as they are currently played, I think that Little's book is kind of essential. This first volume presents a number of valuable information, mainly about how to play the big stack. It is pretty much on the LAG side from the style perfective, and therefore I would suggest to read it just before reading the Elky's recent book. The reason why I did not give it a 5 stars, is that I found the section on how to play the re-shove stack a bit too short. That section would have profit of a more extensive analysis of different opponents stacks, stats and position opening in order to derive optimal re-shove ranges. I am looking forward the second volume.

This was an interesting book. It is not meant to be an algorithm for exactly how to play. Instead it gives a lot of general guidelines and walks you through a lot of common situations. It is very helpful to get you into the mindset of a good player and also the mindset of his opponents.

Jonathon Little has set the new standard for tournament poker books, although I don't think this new standard can be met by anybody else. I am a successful and experienced professional poker player myself but always stay up on the ever changing game through books and training videos . . . I am thankful this one showed up. I have read almost every No Limit Hold Em book and expected this to be a lot of what I have already read but it simply wasn't the case. I almost wanted to write a bad review so other players don't read it, because it is that good. I see the sequel is coming soon, I already have it on order.
