    Earn $30,000 Per Month Playing Online Poker

    By: Ryan Wiseman
    Subtitle: Or, the Definitive Guide to No-Limit Single Table Tournaments Online

    The only poker book that specifically caters to online sit-n-go (SNG) single-table low-limit Texas Hold’em tournaments, takes a unique approach to poker instruction by guiding the reader on a progressive path upward through the various limits, providing only the necessary information to win with any bankroll or skill level at each specific low limit, rather than taking a purely theoretical approach like many other poker books. The book presents guidelines in a series of steps to help readers determine when to move up to a higher limit, and it contends that SNG’s, with their predictable durations of 40-60 minutes, can be defeated systematically and offer an innate system of progression through the various buy-in amounts, which can be viewed as a climbable ladder to gauge success, although winning is not guaranteed as with any form of gambling.
