Moshman's book was great when it was released back in 2007, and is one of several books that I made a lot of money from (along with Harrington & Arnold Snyder), but I thought it would be dated by now. A better one for beating today's tough SNGs may be the upcoming ebook by my favourite instructor 'zerosum79' - Greg Jones' Crushing Online Sit and Go's.

Some of my favourite training videos were made by him at DragTheBar:
- Zerosum79's Method for Memorizing Nash Equilibrium
- Calculating the ICM Tax
- Tools of the Trade I: Advanced SNG HUD
- Making -EV Shoves in SNG's

By the way, in case pkrfce9 (one of the best posters ever) happens to be lurking this forum, I still have your Moshman book (borrowed for my Snyder book).

Thanks for this blondefish, I thought the same also about moshman's being outdated but you peeked my interest on this ebook one though........

I am excited to announce that I will be running a contest to turn one lucky DTB forum member into my Superturbo Protege.

A long time ago I was a struggling SNG player with a dream and that dream was fulfilled through winning a training sites contest to become the Protege of Collin Moshman. It was an exciting time and completely changed my life when it comes to the game of poker. Now it is time to give back more than I have already by taking one player and giving them that same gift.""

I was just looking at this on Amazon. One reviewer says

"however you wonder just how much to trust in the writings of the Author because this book is PACKED full of typo's and on at least one page there was conflicting information(page 204)."

any truth to this? Also, what the hell is up with amazon's pricing? I can order the paperback edition for $9.73 or I can go the much easier route and order a kindle version but for almost double the price at $16. How is something transfered electronically more expensive than a physical book?

Hmmm, guess it could be, I think vekked would be the best one to answer the 1st paragraph, Like I probably would not follow some of that advice on the quiz part of that book for the levels I play.

I haven't read the book in a couple years but I thought it was very good and gave me a lot more tools to improve my take than moshmans book (it was good as well but seemed a bit more basic and dated even back then). Another big thing was that moshman was like an avg 109 sng player and shaw was crushing 500+ sngs and on sharkscope leaderboards when his book came out. Take it fwiw.

I'm not a legal expert but I have to think this would be considered entrapment.
