Harrington on Hold'em is a very detailed and precise guide to winning No-Limit Texas Hold'em tournaments. Written by the 1995 WSOP Champion Dan Harrington and games expert Bill Robertie, this book presents the reader with a chance to learn strategies and formulas for tournament poker.

Because Dan Harrington is a very intense, conservative player, not all strategies my work for players who insist on using their own playing styles and starting hand requirements, but the depth of this book is quite incredible.

In fact, while it is not written for the beginning player, a relatively new player may learn enough to do fairly well in small tournaments. After experiencing the swings and flow of the game, those same players could come back to the book and understand more of what is offered. Their knowledge then would be quite strong.

The best aspect of this large volume is that each section presents new information and then asks specific questions for the reader to ponder and answer. As new hands and scenarios are presented the reader/player can begin working on their own strategy and see how their ideas compare to World Champion's!

Getting full value out of this book requires a lot of work. Don't expect to top the playing charts by skimming through a few chapters. However, a diligent reader will gain a whole new perspective for no-limit tournaments and will reap the rewards of their hard work when following the expert strategy advice from Dan Harrington. Highly recommended
