Independently Published Short Stack Ninja: Tournament Strategy From A Professional Poker Coach

I’ve played tournaments off and on since the late 90’s and have had my share of success. Coming back to the game within the last year I’ve studied push/fold and several other things to add to my basic base of pot odds/betting/drawing odds offered and or taking etc.This book has had me on a heater. I am so focused at each stage of the tournament with a goal in mind for each stack size. I now have a clear understanding and guide as to when to switch gears and what to look for when doing so equity wise etc.Great book that will take your results to the next level if you have a solid foundation.

I was blown away with how well Fox was able to take complex concepts and to simplify them down in a very accessible and applicable manner. If you play any kind of Tournament Poker this book is a must read!

Großartiges Buch über Turnierpoker. Simple Regeln die einen ins Money bringen. Geduld bis zur entsprechenden Hand und man gewinnt.

Wow...just, wow. This guy is the real deal. I was a cash player for years but I've recently got into MTT's. I always loved playing them but it was more of a recreational thing. Going from that to taking it seriously has been a bit of a struggle. For the past few months, I've been in this annoying situation where I'm ITM ~25% but still losing big time overall (obviously part of this is not sticking to bankroll management, but it has a hell of a lot to do with how I'm playing too). Making it to the top 10% or so at best on 2 tables and p**sing my chips away on the other 4 is basically how I've been playing for the past while.I read this book yesterday and absolutely smashed it at the tables last night. I know it's not just a case of variance and running good because I recognised dozens of situations I had been in before where instead of throwing my chips away like usual, or playing too tight, I applied the concepts in the book instead and felt like I was in control and playing solid tournament poker the whole time. Restealing often, conserving my stack when I'm +20bb, trying to squeeze as much value out of my <6bb stack hands as possible. Everything just came together right away and made perfect sense.Obviously I'm expecting variance to kick in and I might make a loss tonight, but at least I'll know I'm playing with a much higher level of confidence and skill now and I'm sure my bankroll will thank me for buying this book in the long run.The book is very short and concise. Straight to the point. No filler. Math portions are completely optional and separate from the rest of the sections in each chapter. I honestly can't thank the author enough for sharing this with us.

I loved this book! I've read a few dozen poker books in my lifetime and my biggest complaint with the majority of them is all of the repetitive and boring filler! This book is short, easy to read, and straight to the point. I didn't have to grind through countless pages of reiterated terms and strategies that anyone who has study poker, even just a little bit, already knows. I'm a little out-of-date on modern tournament strategies and have struggled in late stage tournaments (when many stacks get short) so this quick read was a huge help! Chris provides great explanations of short stack zones and strategies that I can and will implement into my tournament games. Even his one little chapter about deep stack play at the end of the book was very insightful with several interesting and useful notes. He teases the reader about writing another book on deep stack play... if he ever does, I'd purchase a copy immediately. I also really liked how the book read, it almost felt like Chris is just having a one-on-one conversation with you about poker. Not like a textbook like some pokers books read.
