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.

 May be the best for no limit cash July 20, 2010
daddio (TEXAS)
I think Harringtons books may be the best on the market. The cash game books aren't as great to most as the tournament editions but they are an easy entertaining read covering a different subject. In my opinion the 2 volumes are the best no limit cash game books out there. It's hard to find a good cash game book covering no limit as most are written for limit games or no limit tournaments. If someone really has a deep stack cash game strategy book they rate above this and all others I would like to read it. Please reply to my review so I'll know what it is.
The thing with this book is like Harringtons tournament editions, if you buy vol.1 your going to want to buy vol.2. So save yourself trouble and if you can get a better deal on the purchase or shipping price by buying both at the same time I would recommend it.
 Not great literature, but great poker June 5, 2010

Kind of a hard read as the writing is a bit "choppy." However, it's has great information and introduces concepts that 'medium' strength NLHE players may not be familiar with.
Outstanding CASH game book for a beginner January 4, 2010
John Watkins (Goshen, KY USA)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
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

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.
