From the player types, betting, opening the pot, pot odds, and pre/post flop betting, Harrington gives you an inside look into NLHE tourneys. EVERYTHING Harrington talks about was right on.It felt like I was cheating. 81 man tourney and I finished 5th. I have had fun stealing my friends money for the past few years at home games. Can't wait to get back to my local casino and start beating on all the fish. 48 hours before my second ever live tourney, I received this book. I wanted to get to the next level and play in large casino tournaments. I read the first 250 pages, and entered the tournament.
2 of this series is about the later phases of the game. 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. 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. The information is well explained and easy to understand. 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. 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. Examples are well chosen to give you an insight to how to react to different scenarios.
The book gives you good advice on when to bet and how much to bet.
It's a very fun book for anyone who both loves poker and who is willing to tolerate a little math. 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. 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.
I like Slansky's books a little more and are a little more involved. 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. Not a bad book , but not what I was looking for. 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.
The book outside and inside, the paper and what is writen on, everything is perfect.First class service. Happy new year,All was perfect.
