Review
This is the definitive book on sit-and-go play. If you are a complete beginner you'll have to look elsewhere because this book is not for you. If, however, you are already well-versed in cash-game play and are looking to branch out into sit-and-gos, then you've found your bible!
Moshman breaks down your average sit-and-go into three categories: low-blind play, mid-blind play, and, most importantly, high-blind play. For each level, he outlines the different approaches you should adopt to be a successful single-table tournament player.
Sit'n Go Strategy is not for the faint of heart. While Moshman advises players to start out very conservatively, playing tight early, he urges them to become very active once the blinds escalate, stealing and re-stealing before the flop.
He also reveals how to supplement your stack with or without cards. The section on high-blind play is one of the best chapters on any poker topic ever published.
A key concept that top-echelon sit-and-go grinders have known for years, "Never let yourself get blinded out," is probably the best piece of advice offered in the book. This is a mistake countless beginners make, blaming their poor finish in sit-and-gos on their lack of quality cards. Moshman, in contrast, advises pushing any two cards before letting yourself get below 3 BBs.
Once you've read Sit'n Go Strategy, you won't be happy any more with merely cashing; you'll be going for the jugular. Collin Moshman wants you to win sit-and-gos, not place in them. His book is a crash course in killing single-table tournaments.
I would recommend it - and I have - to anyone who's looking to branch out from cash games and start crushing sit-and-gos.
