Jonathan Little is on a mission to teach the world how to play tournament poker.

His first two books, Secrets of Professional Tournament Poker Volumes 1 and 2, outlined how the modern professional plays the game and changed the face of the poker landscape. Now Jonathan has produced a third volume, allowing players to test their understanding of the nuances of tournament play.

The question and answer format allows the reader to examine each individual hand, consider the relevant factors and formulate their thinking about the best line to take. In this way the reader can compare their thought processes with those of a top flight professional who has amassed more than $5 million in career earnings.

Jonathan teaches how to:

·        Hone in on the relevant factors in any given situation?

·        Find the most accurate bet-sizings to maximise player expectation?

·        Learn how to profit on the bubble and at the final table?

Jonathan Little is undoubtedly one of the world’s best poker players and also a highly respected coach. In 2010 he cashed 5 times in the WSOP, including a 3rd place finish.

Stages of the Tournament

Tournament poker is a tough game to play but the rewards for success can be huge. Even regular online tournaments offer substantial prizes running to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Jonathan Little, a highly successful poker professional who has won over $4 million in tournament play in just four years, explains exactly how to succeed in this highly competitive field.

Playing technically sound poker is crucial but this is far from the only skill necessary.

“Secrets of Professional Tournament Poker, Volume 1” dealt with the fundamentals of play. Volume 2 builds on this base and examines the highly complex issue of how to handle the different stages of a tournament. At times the best strategy is to play loose, create problems for your opponent and thus keep accumulating chips. At other times an ultra-tight strategy will be the most profitable. Understanding when to “change gears” is a highly developed skill that requires a great deal of study and experience. Jonathan Little has that experience.

Managing life as a professional poker player throws up a number of issues in itself and Jonathan calls upon his many years as a pro to address these.
