Harrington on Hold 'em is probably the best tournament book (series) avilable, and his theories cover all tournaments, both STT's and MTT's.

Two Plus Two has one coming out in a few months. Here is an excerpt:

Here is another coming out soon:

Scott Fischman's "Online Ace" has a section dealing specifically with SnG's.

there is no "real" book written about sit-n-go's however scotts chapter is pretty good
i would say that are more "write ups" on the subject ~ i would say check out pocketfives and fury justices site.

best of luck and flop'm dead

Indeed. In case the OP doesn't feel like reading the whole thing since I got a free copy from espn.com because I had a gift card I never used I'll summarize the section:

1. Look for spots to double up early but play few hands and push yr big starting hands
2. 4 handed be pushing at every opportunity if/when opponents are giving away troves of stack pumping blinds to try and fold to the money

That's about it.

Fischman's book is pretty good. There's also a few TJ books that touch on SNGs/Satelittes, but they're not great imo.
Other than books, there's loads more info on SNGs. Howard Lederer first Full Tilt pro tip thing, discusses SNGs, thats pretty good. Theres a great post in the pocket 5 archive. the 2+2 forums are obv great too.

Using all the above info I wrote my own STT strategy, it's somewhere in the tourney forum, I still standby 85%+ of it, and defended all the critics!

I'm pretty sure in Phil Gordon's Little Blue Book, there is a section about Sng's. I havn't read it, but someone told me there was a section in there.

I didn't see a topic on this, so I'll just mention it here. I recently finished reading "Sit 'n Go Strategy" by Collin Moshman and it was an excellent read. I highly recommend it for all SNG players. It advises you how to play each phase of the tournament (low/mid/high blinds). Also it stresses aggressive play on the bubble and explains when you should steal and re-steal and how to develop a tight-aggressive image.
