Book Reviews of Harrington on Hold 'em Expert Strategy for No Limit Tournaments, Vol. 2: Endgame
Book Review: WOW
Summary: 5 Stars
Harrington on Hold'em Volumes I and II are the only books I have ever read which have taught me how to earn money. This may be the first poker book ever published in which the author actually appeared to be more interested in teaching people how to play poker than in making money from book sales and gratifying his ego. It is evident throughout the book that Mr. Harrington is a classy human being who loves professional poker, and wants to give something back to the game.
Harrington on Hold'em, Volumes I and II are the best books ever written on No Limit Texas Hold'em tournament play. If you want to learn how excellent players approach situations in all phases of NL tournament play, read and study Dan Harrington's books. Both volumes are suitable for intermediate and advanced Hold'em players. Beginners should first learn the basics of Hold'em before tackling Mr. Harrington's books. He writes clearly and succinctly, and remarkably, even the most advanced concepts are fairly easy to understand. Both volumes are coherent and well organized. They cover most important aspects of NL tournament play and include in depth analysis appropriate for playing on-line tournaments, one table satellites, SNG's, and large multi-table tournaments.
Both text and the examples of sample hands at the end of each chapter are comprehensive, and very well written. Remarkably, Dan Harrington is an outstanding teacher, as well as a great poker player.
Volume I covers the beginning and middle stages of No Limit, tournament play. Important concepts such as pot odds, implied odds, folding equity, betting sequences, and table image are clearly explained, and a large number of sample hand examples and analysis are included which clarify all of the concepts covered. Much of the text covers strategy which should be employed against good to excellent players, but Mr. Harrington offers some guidance on how players should adjust their play against average and weak opponents. Although he discusses conservative, aggressive, and super-aggressive types of play, he primarily teaches his preferred style of play, tight-aggressive, which generally is the optimal style for most players.
Volume II analyzes the latter stages of tournament play, the final table, short-handed situations, and heads-up play. Harrington's concept of zones and "M" (a measure of a player's chip stack relative to the blinds and antes) is an innovative tool that facilitates good decision making in the middle and late stages of tournaments.
Without being didactic or heavily psychoanalytic, Mr. Harrington teaches his readers that outstanding poker players have courage, and must frequently take calculated risks during tournament play to maximize their chances of winning. He clearly differentiates between aggressive moves with positive expectations, and foolish aggression. The most critical chapters cover inflection points (critical periods), when players must make dramatic plays in order to optimize their chances of advancing in a tournament. He clearly defines when positive expected value plays should be made, and situations when pot odds should be disregarded.
Harrington on Hold'em, Volumes I and II may be the best poker books ever published.
