EVERYTHING Harrington talks about was right on.It felt like I was cheating. I wanted to get to the next level and play in large casino tournaments. I have had fun stealing my friends money for the past few years at home games. 81 man tourney and I finished 5th. 48 hours before my second ever live tourney, I received this book. I read the first 250 pages, and entered the tournament. From the player types, betting, opening the pot, pot odds, and pre/post flop betting, Harrington gives you an inside look into NLHE tourneys. Can't wait to get back to my local casino and start beating on all the fish.
2 of this series is about the later phases of the game. Maybe this is not the perfect first poker book to read, but if you have some experience on tournaments and Texas hold'em and want to take your game to next level this is perfect choice.
If you are a beginner like me you'll have tons of great information on how to play the first levels of a tournament. Examples are well chosen to give you an insight to how to react to different scenarios.
This is a well written and clear description of the basics of no limit hold'em tournament play. I'm sure that anyone wishing to develop his tournament skills will benefit from reading this book.
The book gives you good advice on when to bet and how much to bet. The information is well explained and easy to understand.
If you're an experienced tournament player you probably know this stuff already.This book covers the early stages of tournaments and I think the vol. I'm currently waiting for the next part to arrive for I wish to learn how to proceed to the final rounds and bigger prizes.
This is an excellent book. The writing is clear and uncluttered, and the material well-organized and thoughtfully presented.The best part of the book is the many, many, many examples that describe certain situations and then ask you what is the "right" action given the circumstances. Even if you don't agree with Harrington's approach in every case, he frames the problems and issues well and forces you to question your intuition in various situations. It's a very fun book for anyone who both loves poker and who is willing to tolerate a little math.
I feel that most people who play at a higher level may find this book not to be much help if they play at an advanced level. I purchased this book due to all the good reviews. This book is written well with some info that is good for people do not know concepts like pot valves and counting how many outs your hand has. I like Slansky's books a little more and are a little more involved. Not a bad book , but not what I was looking for.
Happy new year,All was perfect. The book outside and inside, the paper and what is writen on, everything is perfect.First class service.
