L'Independent Chip Model (ICM) è la chiave strategica più importante nei tornei multi-tavolo, ma sono pochi i giocatori che comprendono come applicarla, se non giocando più chiusi in fase bolla. L'ICM influenza fortemente non solo le tue decisioni al tavolo (il gioco durante i primi livelli, la bolla e il tavolo finale), ma addirittura prima di iniziare a giocare (la selezione delle partite, lo staking e quando registrarti). La Strategia nelle Fasi Finali è il primo libro ad approfondire il concetto dell'ICM e come dovrebbe influenzare il tuo modo di giocare. Questo libro contiene concetti innovativi che non tutti i professionisti conoscono, come: Come adattare il tuo gioco nella fase finale di un torneo.Quando è meglio scalare una posizione e quando giocare per la vittoria.Come negoziare un deal profittevole al tavolo finale.La scelta ottimale delle partite, dei re-buy e della registrazione tardiva.Come giocare con uno stack ridotto, nella media e grande nella fase finale di un torneo.Dara O'Kearney è un professional poker player, sponsorizzato da Unibet e co-conduttore del podcast The Chip Race.

"In un'era dominata dai solver e dalle tabelle preflop, la fase di gioco dove regna la pressione ICM rimane una delle poche aree irrisolte del poker. La Strategia nelle Fasi Finali spiega chiaramente le idee e gli effetti più importanti dell'ICM. Che tu sia un giocatore alle prime armi che vuole iniziare a comprendere come funziona l'ICM, o un giocatore esperto che vuole interiorizzarne i concetti, questo libro contiene qualcosa che potrà tornarti utile."Daniel Dvoress, giocatore High Stakes

First published in 1975, this book deals with the most popular period for fighting sea battles in miniature- the First and Second World Wars. It brings together all the information that the naval wargamer needs when tackling the 20th century era. This edition includes three new chapters not included in the previous editions. The author takes the reader through his own rules, which aim above all at practical playability and they are illustrated by numerous diagrams. Based on a simplified Fletcher Pratt damage system, they cover movement, gunnery, torpedoes, as well as submarines and air craft. The rules are shown in action in the defence of a convoy in the Adriatic Sea in 1915 and the hunt for a Japanese raiding cruiser in 1942. Naval campaigns are also discussed, with the example of a semi historical-naval campaign around Korea in 1918. China and Korea are facing Russia and Japan. The campaign rules describe practical ways to manage fuel, combat at sea, allocating ships, use of troops etc.
