"Best book on tournament poker i've read yet"
Harrington's book is the best on tournament no limit poker i've read yet. Can't wait to get his other two books.

"A More Sophisticated Approach To The Game"
This book may seem like heavy reading to someone who is new to hold 'em. After gaining a little bit of book knowledge (through lighter readings) and gaining some table experience, however, this book is exactly the type of resource needed to take one's game to the next level. Poker is complicated because of multiple players with varying styles, changing table position, a near infinitude of card combinations, and rising blinds. Analyzing a hand of poker to determine how to get the most value out of the situation is so much more than evaluating where a hand falls on a poker hand ranking chart. Fully analyzing a single hand of poker is so complex that most poker books focus on just a couple of aspects of a particular hand. Harrington's book gets much more in depth, opening the doorway to a much higher level of poker thinking.

"Must have"
Basically if you play tournament style hold 'em and you don't read this book you're either stupid or arrogant. But since either of those qualities is nice to have in an opponent, please don't bother getting this book, thank you.

"Awesome"
This book covers a lot of different parts of strategy as well as providing a large number of situational examples. Its the examples that I feel are the most valuable as they drive home the point of each chapter.

"Awfully Perfect"
It is really something !!! First few pages are average, but then the tension is increasing and increasing and increasing and you want more and more and the you will go ahead and buy next two volumes :o)

but seriously, well written and very, very good from advice / strategic perspective +++

For me Poker Bible :o)

Thank

What our customer's say!

"Deserves more than 5 stars.", All 3 books in this series are great. I wish it was possible to award more than 5 stars because these books are much better than the typical book that gets a 5 star rating.

"Solid Book", There have been many in-depth reviews of this book so I will make this short. If you spend time going through this book it WILL improve your game. The strategy is well laid out and the explanations in the examples gives insight into a top poker players thought process. Many examples state that some of the other answers are also plausible for certain reasons, but he states clearly why HE thinks one play is better than another. A must read for any No Limit Poker Player. str

"Best book(s) in tournament poker", I think Harrington's book and it's sequels are the best books ever written about no limit hold'em tournaments. The first part of the series covers strategic concepts about tournament poker, the second part tells how to play in the ending of a tournament, and third part is the workbook for reviewing the concepts of first two books.

Before reading this book (and the sequels), I have been mostly playing online cash games and occasionally some sit'n'gos, but I am still a beginner in NL hold'em (mostly concentrated on limit games). Totally I have read some 10+ books in poker. Well, after reading this book series I finished 14th out of 2000 players in my first large NL hold'em tournament simply by following Harrington's advice, and slightly adapting in some points.

What's best here is that Harrington is quite a practical guy, and practical guys win. For example, compared to Sklansky, one of the finest authors in poker, Harrington is actually able to teach how to play poker in practical level. In my opinion, Sklansky provides theoretical foundations for some very advanced strategic concepts, but more responsibility about how/when to utilize them is actually left to reader. I think these approaches complement each other very well, and both are great poker authors.

I would say that the first book is also good reading for NL hold'em cash games, especially if you're a beginning player (I am not sure anymore though, since Harrington's cash game series is now out as well). The second book (excluding first chapter) relates only to tournament concepts.


"Best Poker Book", This is the best poker book i've read so far. Very well written, cover all the aspects of the game, specially No Limit Tournaments and SNGs. Everyone who wants to play really well should read this.

"Excellent ", What's your bottom line? What were your results? My results after reading Harrington on Hold Em Volume One, I finished 22nd and 13th in the 1st two tournaments I entered. I like his style of play and I see a lot of what I do in poker as the same. I believe this book is worth every dime and finish in the money like I have and it's already paid for itself. Just started Volume II.

Keep writing them Dan, thanks for the insight and go Sox!!!

"Definitely you will improve your game!", Last night I won again the Texas tournament with my buddies; They enroll me on Texas H and I have been playing for almost three years, they play a lot on internet sites and I don't but after reading just 1/3 of the entire book I can tell you that I noticeable improved my game, I put more attention in each hand and I can read all what is happening on the table that helps me to take better decisions.
I fish better, I bluff better, I make more chips with good hands, I detect more efficiently the danger and fold on time and I can stop and win a medium hand at the flop or before that can become against me on the turn.
This is a great book, you won't regret. There are good exercises at the end of each chapter testing you and giving you huge feedback why you should or shouldn't do something.
Of course, I don't tell anybody of my friends and neighbors that I have this book! Because this is my secret weapon and I try to keep a low profile saying "Hey that was lucky".
It's hard to pick a good Texas book because all the titles you find in internet but this is really good; thick book at small caps with 100% valuable info.
If you don't read a book like this, you will keep relying on just "luck" and Poker is not a luck game ok!


"A masterpiece", strategy (noun): a plan, method, or series of maneuvers or stratagems for obtaining a specific goal or result.

As the title indicates, this textbook spells out Harrington's tournament strategy. It is not a collection of tactics, but a comprehensive treatment of winning tournament play.

Unlike some other well-known poker texts, the writing in this book is clear, unambiguous, and profesionally edited. Harrington is concerned with giving you the facts as he sees them, rather than with self-promotion or opinion. Although Harrington teaches you how he approaches a problem, he doesn't hide the fact that there are other styles of play that can be considered equally valid. After reading this text, you will have a thorough understand of the differences between all the major tournament strategies, their strengths and weaknesses, and which strategy best fits your personality.

Bad poker players blunder their way through tournaments: betting when their cards are favorable, checking when they are scared, and attempting the occasional outrageous bluff in hopes of doubling their stack when nothing else seems to be working. These players know all the tactics, but misapply them. Luck is the ultimate decider of their fate.

Good poker players, on the other hand, have an overall tournament strategy.

Harrington introduces you to the various tournament strategies, and teaches you how to apply them to your play.

The value of this textbook is in the wealth of examples it provides. For each major concept or tactic, Harrington describes perhaps a dozen scenarios that illustrate the idea, and teaches you how to think about the hand the same way a pro would -- with a level-headed, rational approach to the problem.

"Harrington on Hold 'em, Vol. 1" is far and away the best tournament NL Hold'em textbook. This is a must-read for any tournament player.

If you are a tournament pro, you already think you know everything there is to know about poker tournaments. However, you should still read this book because your opponents undoubtedly have.

If you are a beginner, Harrington will show you how to think about a tournament as a single event, rather than as a collection of unrelated hands of poker. You will get a feel for overall tournament strategy, instead of relying on luck or resorting to playing hunches.

This text is the best of the best, don't miss it.



"not only really good but easy too read", not only that im plesently suprised about the stuff in the book, i mean lets be honest some poker books arent even worth one 1 dollar but its easy too read i mean really easy i mean whoever read sklansky knows what im taking about great books but it seems like and eternity and even though its verry interesting it kills you to read it. another suprise is that harrington advice can also applied to money games and hes fun to ever wondered why they called the bottom cards for a straight the idiots end??? because only an idiot would play the cards in the first place. he gives tips opponents just because player are agressive doesnt mean they have a death wish i know nothing new but you allways seem to forget the easy stuff

by the way i dont want to annoy anyone but can please someone tell me if i can change my handle to i love neda hajizadeh?

"Excellent", This book has improved my play. Good examples and basically justifies the discipline and patience needed to play good poker.

"Excellent Book", Book is what I expect from a book about hold 'em. Goes into details such as implied/non-implied pot odds, that is understandable to everyone. There are a great deal of quizzes after each chapter, which is a must IMO.

If you are looking for a book to bring your game to the next level, get it!
