This is a great great book! I have plugged many leaks in my game and have noticed the way I think about poker is really evolving, especially the ability to "put my opponent on a range" which is something Mr. Little talks about constantly.I gave it 4 stars, and not 5, for several reasons. One, while my mind is really geared toward math, it is unrealistic to be able to plug in the variables and compute some of his raise, call, or fold formulas on the spot at a live table when there is so much going on. But maybe this will come with more practice. Even without all the variables and an actual equation, I have been able to roughly calculate the equity I have with each decision, and his suggestions to study poker equity tables online is a good one. The main reason, is that most of the book is spent discussing when the effective stack size is 200 BB's. I either need to move, or move up in stakes, because the small to medium buy-ins I play in in NorCal start you with maybe 160 BB's (this is just for the first level). Not too many people bust or double up at the first level, so once we move up a level and the blinds double from 25/50 to 50/100, the effective stack size is 80 BB's. I could really benefit from more specific examples of how to play at this level.
That said, I have played 4 live tourneys since reading this and volume 2. While I haven't finished in the money (I have FT'd a few times prior to reading this book), I'm noticing how consistent, and improving my results are:
-92nd out of 151 (played right)
-49th out of 103 (played right)
-42nd out of 91 (played right)
-23rd out of 101 (there are 2 crucial hands that made me go bust at the end that I played wrong- to summarize, you need a much better hand to raise than you do to call, especially with players already raised into the pot. He talks a lot about this and I was not dealing with the pressure of my short stack well)
I believe that as I continue to apply his outlined methods, and slowly integrate them with my own unique game, I will become a very consistent in the $ player. Any of the above tourneys I played, I could have easily made the $ with just one or 2 more flips going in my favor. Which is another thing, he really helped me deal with tilt, and short-term variance.
Overall, not just a good read, I would say this and volume 2 are must-reads if you want to take your poker tournament game to the next level.

Secrets of Professional Tournament Poker Volume 1 Fundamentals and How to Handle Varying Stack Sizes (Audible Audio Edition) Jonathan Little DB Publishing Books Reviews
Ok Book. He is obviously a good poker player but I could not follow his teaching very well. Maybe it is me.
I'm not even finished with the book but I feel like I've learned enough already to give it 5 stars. While it started a bit slowly, it quickly became apparent that J.L. was really giving some great insight into the modern aggressive game. His explanation of pot control alone is worth the purchase price. There is definitely enough in here to justify multiple readings. It sounds like pure hype when J.L. says, "Commit everything in this book to memory and you will be well on your way to becoming a professional poker player." But at this point I'd hate to face the player who actually had fully digested this material.
Love the Books! 100% as described. Speedy Delivery! Completely Satisfied!!!
I tend to the LAG style of play and have gone well in getting into the money and often (relatively speaking) with a good sized stack. However, I felt I was hitting and missing some important concepts and not getting to the final table enough nor getting enough firsts out of the final three. This book has shown me where I was leaking and where I was doing good. It's great to read such a strongly affirmative exposition of LAG play and that TAG play is not the only way to win; I never could keep my stats in the recommended ratios. So this book has helped liberate my play and shown me how I could improve. I feel better about my game now, it's more solid, and my 'success' rate has improved.
However ... when he explains various points there are a lot of provisos to be aware of. In my first implementation of some of his advice I had missed one of his provisos and found myself rather deeply in a mess. So if you do read it, study his advice carefully. This book is a serious case of "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" as his style of play is probably further out than the average player will feel comfortable with. Consequently, you should be willing to make an effort to genuinely understand exactly the principles he espouses.
Overall, he helped me learn how to play "my game" sensibly. Thank you, JL.
(For the record, I have no affiliations or biased groupy involvement.)
This book has a tremendous amount of tournament strategy ideas for all stages. It goes through early tournament <100BB, all the way to <6BB. At each stage, optimal ppay strategies for early position, middle position, late position, and SB and BB. Too much to digest in one reading. I think this purchase was a tremendous value. Jonathon Little is a very good instructor.
Haven’t finished the book yet but I was a winning tourney player already. Several small stakes 1st places but not a lot of ITM if I didn’t have strong runs. I’d either play solid hands and progress or get blinded out of my chips. I never understood LAG play. I’m practicing the methods in this book and taking notes on players (online) and maximizing position and stack sizes and am building bigger stacks getting deeper in tournaments regularly.
Highly recommend it for anyone that is a solid TAG player that needs to up their aggression. Book is paying off literally.
