 Great book - completes the set. Perfect Examples. March 7, 2008
B. Castillo (East Coast)
With all the numerous poker books out there, Dan Harrington by far has the best set of books out there. The first one is amazing at covering all the basics to improve your skill, the second book is great with examples and how to handle the same hand differently, and the third is perfect to refine your game. Read the first one completely with understanding before moving on to the second and the third book. The workbook tests what you have already learned and will refine your decision-making. Highly recommended!
Brilliant discussion and loads of fun too! February 11, 2008
Jesse C. Sudich (Sydney Australia)
I had so much fun going through this book that I wish it never ended. You'll thoroughly enjoy testing your poker thinking against Harringtons extremely indepth comments. I've obviously read both of the other books but being forced to really think (in order to score points) is EXTREMELY helpful towards actually LEARNING the subject matter. If you enjoyed the first two. Buy this! If you dont have the first two, buy them, then buy this. Just do yourself a favour, study up and then attack this but write down all your answers to all the questions and number them (There's actually a score sheet in the back of the book). After I had gone through it I realised there is a section that categorises all of the errors you made so you can see where your game needs the most improvement but my answers were actually strewn about on bits of scrap paper so I couldn't make use of it...:S There's one or two questions where you might find yourself hard done by with Harrington not awarding points for what you may consider very reasonable plays but these are few and far between. For the most part he's pretty much spot on in his commentary.
so that's how it is done November 29, 2007

I learned more about how to play no-limit hold'em tournaments from this exercise than the previous 10 books on the subject. The examples are clear and very well explained. The options are examined at every step and eliminated logically. One should probably have read his first 2 books before taking this test if you want to ace it.

Final Exam: No Limit Texas Hold'em November 8, 2007
Kevin O'Mahoney (Cambridge, MA United States)
This isn't a poker book, it's a final exam. The book is 50 hands/problems with multiple choice answers, followed by analysis of the choices, detailed explanations for the worst, better, best choices and grading. Sometimes tough grading. Few generalities. Instead, in-depth hand/position/stack/odds analysis as they apply to playing specific hands. Having studied Volumes 1 & 2, I was repeatedly surprised that Harrington would do something that appeared to contradict what he had previously preached. But, a shade of difference, perhaps position, pot-odds, number of callers, the types of callers or raisers (loose or tight) made choice A superior to choice B. His analysis is sometimes overwhelming. It can take five or more minutes to read his explanation and you obviously don't have that kind of time at a poker table. But, if learning to read the situation "correctly," understanding the options, and making the right decision are your goals, this book is unmatched. Harrington's writing is often colorful and always conversational. It's as if you have a private tutor. While I didn't always agree with Harrington's choices, I benefited from his explanations -- I know how other people might react to a given situation. Far and away the best book on poker I've ever read.
