Product Description Poker has taken America by storm. But it's not just any form of poker that has people across the country so excited it's no-limit hold 'em the main event game. And now, thanks to televised tournaments, tens of thousands of new players are eager to claim their share of poker glory. In the first volume of this series, Harrington on Hold 'em: Volume I: Strategic Play, Dan Harrington explained how to play in the early phases of tournaments, when most players at the table had plenty of chips, and the blinds and antes were small. This book, Harrington on Hold 'em: Volume II: The Endgame shows you how to play in the later phases of a tournament, when the field has been cut down, the blinds and antes are growing, and the big prize money is within sight. Harrington shows you how to make moves, handle tricky inflection point plays, and maneuver when the tournament is down to its last few players and the end is in sight. Hes also included a whole chapter on heads-up play, whose strategies up to now have been a closely-guarded secret of the game's top masters. Dan Harrington won the gold bracelet and the World Champion title at the $10,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold 'em Championship at the 1995 World Series of Poker. And he was the only player to make it to the final table in 2003 (field of 839) and 2004 (field of 2,576) considered by cognoscenti to be the greatest accomplishment in WSOP history. In Harrington on Hold 'em, Harrington and two-time World Backgammon Champion Bill Robertie have written the definitive book on no-limit hold 'em for players who want to win and win big.

The "Hold 'Em" text. March 4, 2010 Steven Toon (Houston) Outstanding book on Texas Hold 'Em. I can't imagine playing without having read this.
A must read for serious players February 27, 2010 J. Russo This book along with Volume 1 are a must read for anyone serious aboout Hold'em. You will come away from these books with a much greater understanding of the game.
They take you through every aspect of the game and break them down so that when you get to the "problem" sections of the book you have a clear understanding of what he is trying to teach. If you are looking for a good base understanding of the math and how to figure pot odds, implied odds, betting patterns and every other aspect of the game then these are the books for you.
These books WILL improve your game.
Best of the best!!! October 12, 2009 pro gym (Santo Domingo) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The first volume is very good. But this one is the best. Harrington makes you to win. It shows you to play in the later phases of a tournament. Read that stuff.
The Harrington series remains the classic poker tournament text July 14, 2009 Poker Pro (New York) Some books are so good that they define their field. Every book that comes after may agree, disagree, or clarify what a definitive book has to say on its subject, but there is one thing subsequent books can't do: they can't ignore it. If you're a serious tournament poker player, you can't ignore the Harrington series. This is THE classic text on Texas hold em poker tournament strategy, bar none.
Vol. 2 continues the greatness of Harrington's series by moving away from the formulaic, conservative approach taken in Vol. 1. This is understandable, since you have to learn to walk before you can run. And by the time you finish Harrington Vol. 2, you'll be ready for the speed trials! Words like "highly recommended" can be overused, so I'll just say you'd be crazy to gamble any serious amount of money without buying and completely absorbing all three of Harrington's books. You should also re-read them right before any major event to clarify your thinking. They're THAT good!
I'd also recommend The Poker Tournament Formula and Poker Tips that Pay: Expert Strategy Guide for Winning No Limit Texas Hold em for readers that are looking beyond the Harrington series, for additional hand-based poker strategies and techniques. Both books compliment Harrington's approach to the game quite well.
Excellent June 14, 2009 Scott1182 (Central Texas) If you understood and enjoyed v1, then this is a must. It certainly goes deeper into the topic, but gives some great advice for those looking to hone their strategies for late play. Strongly recommend v3 workbook.
