5 out of 5 stars Best Poker Book   April 24, 2008
This is the best poker book i've read so far. Very well written, cover all the aspects of the game, specially No Limit Tournaments and SNGs. Everyone who wants to play really well should read this.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent   April 23, 2008
What's your bottom line? What were your results? My results after reading Harrington on Hold Em Volume One, I finished 22nd and 13th in the 1st two tournaments I entered. I like his style of play and I see a lot of what I do in poker as the same. I believe this book is worth every dime and finish in the money like I have and it's already paid for itself. Just started Volume II.

Keep writing them Dan, thanks for the insight and go Sox!!!



5 out of 5 stars Best book on tournament poker i've read yet   March 31, 2008
Harrington's book is the best on tournament no limit poker i've read yet. Can't wait to get his other two books.


5 out of 5 stars A More Sophisticated Approach To The Game   March 26, 2008
This book may seem like heavy reading to someone who is new to hold 'em. After gaining a little bit of book knowledge (through lighter readings) and gaining some table experience, however, this book is exactly the type of resource needed to take one's game to the next level. Poker is complicated because of multiple players with varying styles, changing table position, a near infinitude of card combinations, and rising blinds. Analyzing a hand of poker to determine how to get the most value out of the situation is so much more than evaluating where a hand falls on a poker hand ranking chart. Fully analyzing a single hand of poker is so complex that most poker books focus on just a couple of aspects of a particular hand. Harrington's book gets much more in depth, opening the doorway to a much higher level of poker thinking.


5 out of 5 stars Must have   March 9, 2008
Basically if you play tournament style hold 'em and you don't read this book you're either stupid or arrogant. But since either of those qualities is nice to have in an opponent, please don't bother getting this book, thank you.
