I finally finished reading the best poker book available on tournament play. Dan Harrington has done the poker world a great service by writing Harrington on Hold’em. I would have finished the book much sooner, but it was my bathroom reader, so I was only reading 10-15 pages a day.
Harrington breaks down the game of no-limit just like any other author by pre-flop, flop, turn and river. What makes this book stand out though are the awesome Problems presented at the end of each chapter. Dan uses actually hands that he’s run into or observed over the years. He lays out the hand and then asks you questions along the way. He describes what you should be thinking as you make you decision. It’s great to see what a world class player and World Series of Poker Champion is thinking during a poker hand.
Volume I is a great book for any poker player of any level. The attention to details is fantastic and the book is easy to read. I can’t wait to get my hands on Volume II for some of the more advanced topics and moves.
Harrington on Hold’em: Expert Strategy for No Limit Tournaments (Strategic Play) definitely gets an A+ from me.

Hey Dew,
I enjoyed playing with you the other night on UB. That other dude was quite the drawing “jopker.” Of course, he busted me pretty good, so maybe he I am the drawing donkey. Who knows?

That was fun. I’ve been getting my ass handed to me in 6-max, but I know I can beat it. It’s the 3-5 outers that keep hitting and killing me.

You forgot to mention that you have to be independently wealthy to afford it.

Do you mean the book Paul? It’s less than $20 though my Amazon link if you click on the book image above. You’ll get that $20 back the first tournament you cash in.

Hands down the best book on tournament play period. Heck, it even helps a bit in the full table ring games too. Definately one to add to the library.
