Harrington on Hold 'em: Expert Strategies for No Limit Tournaments, Vol. III–The Workbook

This book comes out with Dan Harrington in the best way till date. Amazing as it might sound, finally we have a whole book devoted on the analysis of pre-flop as well as post-flop actions across each decision point of hand. More so, Harrington has got rid of the pure orthodox approach of the initial volumes. In this book, he focuses on a variable style of the game, which includes slackening against more aggressive opponents, who are hell bent on pushing you over the table. The first two volumes would give you a basic mathematically sound orthodox game. This volume focuses a lot with aggressive, “play your opponent” types of moves. This is definitely a brilliant analysis.

I simply cannot have enough of this book. Harrington literally does some spoon feeding as he takes you step by step along the decision-making processes. During the process, he improves the quality of the decisions. Although he may remain orthodox, play a hand considerably according to the potential, he focuses on more aggressive games. He addresses the merits and demerits of other kinds of games throughout, and also tells you, as to what he shall do and why. A remarkable show of poker analysis.

A few books are so brilliant, that they tend to define their field. Each book that comes thereafter might agree, disagree, or may clarify as to what a definitive book would say on the subject, yet there is definitely one thing that the subsequent books would not be able to do: they can not simply ignore it. In case you are a serious tournament poker player, then in that case, you can not ignore the Harrington series. As it is, this is a classic text dealing with Texas hold em poker tournament strategies.

The second Volume continues with the good work, moving away from the conservative approach of the first volume. And by the time you are done with reading this book, read all the top online poker updates and get the latest news, tips and poker rules at epn.org.
