Review by Bradford D. Jensen Jr. for Win Your Way Into Big Money Hold’em Tournaments: How to Beat Casino and Online Satellite Poker Tournament (The Championship)

I am a big fan of McEvoy’s books, probably because I tend to play poker in more or less the same fashion that he does and also generally specialize in tournament play. This book is good, but not on par with some of his other books, such as Championship Poker, etc. I think my biggest disappointment was two-fold: There was a substantial chunk of the book devoted to satellite and super satellite play for limit events (which I don’t play at all, and seems on the fringes since most premier events are no limit), and the section on internet satellite play was small. I would have liked to see more content there, especially since this is where most people buying this book will be playing there satellite play. Yes we all know how Moneymaker turned $39 into $2.5M, but it would have been nice to have more in-depth discussion about accomplishing that, especially in extremely low-buy in super satellites with large fields. I did find some useful information in this book I hadn’t found elsewhere (the mark of a good poker book in my opinion) so I would recommend it to anyone thinking about using some portion of their poker bankroll as a springboard into large, big-money tournaments.

Don’t bother spending your money on this. The five pages on satellites in Lindgren’s book far outweigh any content in this…its mostly just stories of past satellites with some obvious advice thrown in (auto-checking online is a tell!!! thanks for that)
