 Ne'er Fear the Flop June 7, 2006
Voracious reader (New York)
15 out of 18 found this review helpful
As a book about post-flop play considerations - an area where few excel - this is outstanding. As a quiz book, workbook or whatever, it is weak. The "problem" format adds little but pages - I suppose they wanted it to be as thick as the other two volumes, which stand unequalled in the firmament. There is at least one problem where we are told of the opponent's betting patterns AFTER the problem is set. Fat chance we had of making the right decision there. This knocks a star off another Harrington volume that otherwise pulsates with insight - I am sure I am not alone in getting many of the preflop decisions right, then crashing into a cloud of unknowing post-flop. Action Dan shows us the way. The antidote to Kill Philistinism , this restores poker to an artform.
 As advertised, not as good as first two volumes June 3, 2006

The first two books: 5 stars
This "workbook": 3 stars
I knew what it was supposed to be before I bought it, a "workbook" companion to the very excellent two volumes that preceeded it.
It's fairly interesting, and there are many common situations as the 1st reviewer noted, but there's nothing especially new here that wasn't in the 1st two books... just problems.
I'd get the new Sklansky NL book first, by far.

This new volume contains 50 problems with titles like "Negreanu Versus Farha" and "Playing on the Single-Table Bubble -- 1". Most of the problems focus on post-flop play with an emphasis on helping you move from "less weak" "mechanical strategies" towards "becoming strong". It sounds like a collection of exactly the kind of problems that I get sucked into. I think I'm really going to enjoy this book. I'll post a more detailed review after I have finished working through it.
