The Bible of all Poker Books October 11, 2007
I have read several poker books since i picked up Harrington on Poker Vol 1 and Vol 2 and I most say that they pale in comparison to this masterpiece.
Both books are exceptionally organized, welll written and the examples with commentary are worth their weight in gold. Harrington talks about several complex topics but distills the theory with scenario examples to demonstrate the proof of concept. Every practical engineers dream. The fact that he has a math background serves well for a player like myself.
My poker play has improved tremendously because of this book. I used to play 2/4 limit poker but have now progressed to Sit and Gos and Tournaments. Of the last 9 Sit and Gos i have played in a card room, I have won three (shared first twice), came in 2nd or 3rd on the other three and lost three times (although i was usually 4th or 5th when such happened). The stats speak for themselves.
Thank you Dan!
Harrington continues September 14, 2007
Excellent continuation of vloume 1. I know that reading these books will improve my game with time, it's a lot to learn and try to implement. Anyone can improve using the guidelines and tips given.
Great Book September 8, 2007
Strategy illustrated in the book seems to work well. This is a definite need for any poker player. Highly recommend.
Terrific Book July 25, 2007

I've now read both Harrington's Volumes I & II on Texas Hold em - terrific books. This volume (II - Endgame) is an essential follow up to Volume I. I've read Brunson's Super System. He's got some good insights, but alot of rambling too. Alot of these poker books are about the authors philosophy of poker and the great accomplishments they had - who cares? Just tell me how to make good bets! And that's just what Harrington does. Harrington's book really gives you the nuts and bolts of good poker. When I was at my first tournament, I remember most of the time not really knowing what decisions to make, whether it was pre-flop, post-flop etc. I was always going by my "instincts". Well guess what? My instincts suck - as do most people's. Yeah, you may get a good read once in a while, but that's it. I finally feel like I can make good decisions. I never had any idea the game was so complicated, but I have a much better appreciation for it now. One of the best things it taught me, and that I wasn't doing, was to try and figure out what the other players had based on their betting and their styles. If you do read this book, I hope I never have to play against you!
Please Don't Buy This Book - I Want to Beat You July 20, 2007
My success has gone up dramatically since I have read and applied these concepts. I do not want the Harrington Way becoming well known or standard play because right now I have an advantage. Concepts like M, Q, Randomizing, and his concept review of late stages - all just brilliant.
