Although the titles are very similar, the subject matter of the second book is much different. It deals with deeper stacked professional-level tournaments, but it introduces a concept he calls poker utility that is hardly ever mentioned in other poker tournament books. I've been carrying around one or the other of these books for a couple of weeks now, reading them if I'm eating meals alone in buffets. A friend came up and told me he thought the books weren't very good. The comments didn't cause me to lower my opinion of Snyder's books. Rather, it caused me to lower my opinion of my friend! Bob

Bob, my opinion of Arnold Snyder is he is a professional gambler's professional gambler. I think it was 4 or five years ago at the WSOP, ESPN had some of the top pros, in a light-hearted sidepiece, playing rochambeau.
For anyone who would like to read a review of Arnold's work, here it is: http://www.pokernews.com/news/2008/08/book-review-arnold-snyder-poker-tournament-formula-2.htm
