Harrington on Hold 'em Expert Strategy for No Limit Tournaments, Vol. 1: Strategic Play June 25, 2010
M. Pannewig (Australia)
Reading this book was a watershed moment for me. I went from playing clueless poker & loosing every game I played, to winning poker & starting to hit end tables & $$$$ in online MTT's.
I strongly recommend this to anyone who wants to improve in Sit n'Go's to MTT's. It will give you a solid foundation on which to build your game.
Then again, maybe I shouldn't recommend it, because I'd rather more fish out there who can add to MY bankroll....

This has pretty much become the Bible for Hold Em Tournaments. Even if you wish to develop your own strategy (which works best for the smartest players -- a strategy tailored to your own strengths/patience/bankroll), you need to read this book to understand the minds of your opponents.

Good book! Good price! Good servvice! That about sums it up for me. I got a great deal on what I believe is a must read for all hold'em tournament players. This was delivered to me in a timely manner. This all adds up to me coming back to Amazon for my future book buys. Thank you Amazon.

Outstanding book on Texas Hold 'Em. I can't imagine playing without having read this. But read Volume I first.
Kindle Version is a Perfect Copy! February 5, 2010

This is a review of the Kindle Version.
This classic by superstar Hold'em Tournament player Dan Harrington is well regarded by experienced poker players everywhere. It is a "classic" and a worthy read despite the fact that some of the techniques are so widely known that they have lost much of their effectiveness. There is a multitude of good reviews on the content, which I will not discuss. Instead, I will discuss the merits of the Kindle edition.
This is one of the best Kindle editions of a paper poker book that I've seen so far - most graphics-heavy poker books don't translate that well. (I also own paper copies of this series, so I can compare the two readily). First, the text itself is not plagued by the transcription errors and typos that are common in most Kindle versions. (I don't know why it's so hard for them to proofread Kindle versions carefully before they put them up for sale, but that's another issue.) The text in this book is exactly like the original, without any transcription errors.
Second, the Kindle version does an excellent job of reproducing the diagrams from the original paper book. This book is loaded with diagrams, and some Kindle poker books don't handle these well, especially when you change the typeface size on your kindle. This book is outstanding in this area.
As I write this, the price discount for the Kindle version compared to the paper version is only a couple of bucks, but I can't complain. In fact, the kindle version to me is even more valuable than my paper versions, due to portability. The kindle is shaping up to be a great device for serious poker players, because we can keep our Gus Hansen, Dan Harrington, and other books all in one small package to read during travel time to the casinos.
