Product Description
The first years of the poker boom were fueled by the interest in no-limit hold em tournaments. Recently, however, players have been gravitating to another, even more complex form of hold em no-limit cash games. In Harrington on Cash Games: Volume I, Dan Harrington teaches you the key concepts that drive deep-stack cash game play. You ll learn how to tailor your selection of starting hands to your stack size, how to recognize the increasing deception value of supposedly weaker hands as the stack sizes increase, and how to use the concept of pot commitment to your advantage as the size of the pot grows. After laying out the general concepts behind deep-stack cash game play, Harrington shows you a complete strategy for post-flop play, and then teaches you the difference between post-flop play against a single opponent and post-flop play against multiple opponents. If you play no-limit hold em cash games, you need to read this book. 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 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 Cash Games, Harrington and two-time World Backgammon Champion Bill Robertie have written the definitive books on no-limit cash games. These books will teach you what you need to know to be a winner in the cash game world.

 Outstanding CASH game book for a beginner January 4, 2010
John Watkins (Goshen, KY USA)
Bottom line -- I was a break-even Cash game player (and a winning tourney player) when I bought this book and now I'm a winning Cash game player.
Yes, this book is for CASH game ***beginners*** and if you're past that stage, you shouldn't be reading (and criticizing) the book for being what it is -- a beginner's book that lays the foundation of your knowledge of how to play cash games.
But let's be real -- everyone who masters anything must first be a novice and must first learn the basics, the foundation, the mundane details of the subject.
And that's exactly what you get here -- the foundation. And it does an outstanding job of doing exactly that.
One of the best nuts and bolts poker books in the market today December 28, 2009
T. Tolley (Alexandria, VA United States)
Harrington's series on cash games is one of best nuts and bolts poker books out there. His discussion on the importance of stack sizes and how each stack size should be approached, is priceless. The series deals with specific situations and provides both general and broad brush guidance, depending on the level of play. This is the book I recommended to my 3rd level supervisor at work (yes the big boss).
Five stars for sure.
Excellent Book and Service December 21, 2009

I have been a customer of Amazon.com for a very long time and the book "Cash Games" was for my husband who read the book in two days. The customer service that is provided via Amazon.com is excellent and that is the ONLY reason that I order from them and only them.
The vendors who sign up with Amazon are intelligent business people because if you do not treat your customers right, your business will fail. That is reality and I, as a previous retail store owner in New York, knows all about what makes a business work and it is making sure yur customer's are happy. I do wish I would receive a coupon once in a while as that would add to my purchasing. Coupons are what consumers look for. The shipping and condition of this book was top shelf and that is why I will continue to shop here and use this vendor again, as well. Happy Holidays to all. A discounted coupon would be great to receive; especially with the holidays approaching us.

 Maybe good 2007 but in today games you will get killed December 15, 2009

This is a decent guide to play poker but not good or close to optimal.
He teaches you a way to play that will hinder your future growth as a player. So if you really want to become good this book will hinder your longterm growth because he is teaching you ways of thinking that will put you in a lot of bad situations.
Ex: "Computer simulation has shown that it's always best to open raise if you are first to act. Still he think it's better to limp some of the time (which I can agree with) BUT he wants you to limp randomized, not because it's the best option but because he think you should mix it up for mixing sake." This is only one of many terrible advices!
[There are of course some good points also and I haven't read the 2nd book but can't recommend it for poker players that really want to become good]

Mr. Harrington gives a few good tips for playing certain hands in cash games. These tips will allow you to save enough money in one session of Hold'em to pay for the book.
