Harrington on Hold 'em Expert Strategy for no Limit Tournaments 1&2 June 27, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm new to the game, having played for six months. But it wasn't until reading these books that I realized I had some control over my game. Harrington combines theory with practicality. He puts you at numerous tables, the make-up of each one different than the others, and challenges you to decide how much you'd bet and why you would bet in each situation. Then he gives his opinion. As in a real game, not all hands are won, not all hands are played as he would play them, and he factors in the element of luck. This is a book for serious players.

Good, solid fundamentals. I am a conservative player and I found this (and his first book) very helpful. I am playing better and better.

The Most Valuable Book I ever Read May 4, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have read a lot of books on Hold'em, some useful and some worthless. However, the Harrington on Hold'em Series is far and away the best instruction out there. The Harrington Vol. 2 (Harrington Red) takes you into the strategy and tactics of the latter stages of a no-limit tournament, where he guides you into making it into the money, the final table, short table, and ultimately Heads Up for the championship. You will learn key tripwires on when you MUST make a move while on the bubble, as your stack gets small and the Blinds get big.
Harrington and Robertie's books not only provides outstanding instruction, but also provide a refreshing read with amusing anecdotes, excellent hand summaries, and great sports and pop culture references (the parable of the "Dark Tunnel Bet" and the stupid teenagers that say, "lets go into this dark scary looking house and look around," was particularly hilarious.
I find the Harrington Trilogy valuable is because I have won money with it. I was a consistent loser online and in Casino tournaments. But armed with Harrington's strategy, I have won some fairly big tournaments and have total confidence that I can play any level of tournament without looking like a donkey or fish.
Great Tourney Book March 26, 2007
Harrington's Hold'ed series is a great resource for then novice and intermediate poker player, especially in regards to tournament play. Books I&II take you through all stages of tourney play, and makes you think about position, blind strucutre, Q rating, and changing gears to mix up your play. an excellent reource to improve your play in low and mid-limit tourney's. Only weakness is he doesnt go into much detail on short stack play, rather analyzes pot, blind and stack size on determine whether to push all in or not. other than that great series of books.
