This book is similar to "Every Hand Revealed" by Gus Hansen (also highly recommended). The key differences are that where the Hansen book was one player talking the reader through a tourney from start to glorious finish, this book is 3 players commenting on a selection of hands which have been chosen to illustrate important topics in MTTs e.g. stealing blinds; continuation bets; building a big stack; short-stack strategies; deep-stack play; playing draws and bubble play. Each of the 3 authors writes one chapter and the final chapter consists of the 3 of them discussing hands played by Matt Hilger.

What I took away from this book was a selection of points to consider during play rather than a collection of "how to" rules. As the authors demonstrate, there are many viable approaches to playing MTTs and part of the poker learning curve is discovering what works for you. Hence, although the book is an easy read, I'd suggest that you need 50 or so MTTs under your belt before it becoms usefull; complete beginners would probably be better off with something like The Poker Tournament Formula V2 (V1 is for STTs).
