One of the interesting parts of your book talks about how exciting satellites can be.  I had that experience today.

I was playing a freeroll satellite where top 4 get paid (a $5 tourney ticket).  I was doing okay -- a few nice flops and a few bad plays by others and I had a decent (but not large amount of chips).  Then my mobile phone stopped connecting to the site.  I was sitting out for a good amount of time until I could get to my laptop.

10th place out of 10. Very short stacked.  Ugh.  Well, let's play this for the fun of it.

I tried my best to think about ICM.  A won a couple of all-ins and stole a blind or too.  Final table.  Excitement building.

Chip leader was playing way too many hands, and spewed off to many players (including me).  He had not read Dara's book.  Last place swapped a few times (I occupied it most of the time; but made it to 2nd place for a brief moment). A lot of close calls for those in last place.

But.....

Chip leader at the start of the final table ended up 5th place (not in the money).  I ended up 4th (in the money).   Wild stuff.

Not much of a question, but more of a thank you.  I do need to study the book more but I do think my first read of it gave me enough of a leg up to cash in this tournament.

[U]Two questions[/U]:

1. Do you think you'll write a tournament book?  (I think that was mentioned in this thread.) I hope so as your book was easy to read and very approachable.

2. In lieu of your own book coming out, is there a MTT book you'd recommend?  A lot of the highly recommend material seem to be cash focused.

Thank you!
