Arnold Snyder

As an exceptional poker tournament player who transformed the common tactics in tournament play through his highly impactful book, Snyder offers more valuable insights in the sequel to the groundbreaking Poker Tournament Formula. This time, he focuses on guiding players towards achieving success in high-stakes tournaments and million-dollar championships.

In his new adaptation, Snyder applies the freewheeling, aggressive, and quick tournament strategies from his pioneering first book, Poker Tournament Formula, to high-stake events where substantial money can be earned. He introduces players to never-before-disclosed ideas and secrets that demonstrate why cards don’t hold as much importance as the dynamics of a tournament. Readers gain knowledge on how to modify their tactics for various tournament structures and opponents, the differences between playing hands in tournaments versus cash games, and why it’s challenging to understand the strategies of winners merely by observing their game. Additionally, Snyder discusses satellites, sit’n’gos, and methods for calculating tournament win rate and advantage, including:

1. The reasons behind the failure of some of the most proficient poker players in tournaments

2. The situations in which it’s often appropriate to play a hand “incorrectly” in a tournament

3. The process of crafting the most effective strategy for any tournament, considering its blind structure

4. Strategies for consistently amassing a large stack and using it to intimidate your adversaries
