Review

When noted author Michael Craig, the man who detailed the action of "The Big Game" in The Professor, The Banker and The Suicide King, decided to take on putting together a tournament strategy book, he didn't know what he was getting himself into.

After more than a year of work with the stable of professionals at Full Tilt Poker, Craig generated The Full Tilt Poker Strategy Guide: Tournament Edition, an invaluable tool for anyone who plays tournament poker either recreationally, to earn some extra income or for their livelihood.

An attempt to mix the two could result in disaster, but using one or the other's approach is a solid way to attack a tournament.

Probably the best demonstration of how The Full Tilt Poker Strategy Guide: Tournament Edition can help a player is Michael Craig himself. After editing the essays from the players involved and publishing the book, Craig earned three cashes at the 2007 World Series of Poker, including two final tables.

If working with the players on the book could do that for Craig via osmosis, imagine what it can do for the reader.
