Editorial Review: Product Description: Poker has taken America by storm. But it s not just any form of poker that has people across the country so excited it s No-Limit Hold Em the main event game. And now thanks to televised tournaments tens of thousands of new players are eager to claim their share of poker glory. Harrington on Hold Em takes you to the part of the game the cameras ignore the tactics required to get through the hundreds and sometimes thousands of hands you must win to make it to the final table. Harrington s sophisticated and time-tested winning strategies, focusing on what it takes to survive the early and middle stages of a No-Limit Hold Em tournament, are appearing here for the first time in print. These are techniques that top players use again and again to get to make it to final tables around the globe. Now, learn from one of the world s most successful No-Limit Hold Em players how to vary your style, optimize your betting patterns, analyze hands, respond to a re-raise, play to win the most money possible, react when a bad card hits and much, much more. 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 it to the final table in 2003 (field of 839) and 2004 (field of 2576) considered by cognoscenti to be the greatest accomplishment in WSOP history. In Harrington on Hold Em, Harrington and 2-time World Backgammon Champion Bill Robertie have written the definitive book on No-Limit Hold Em for players who want to win ... and win big. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - ABC PokerAbout 80% of the way through... I'm a little baffled by some of the gushing reviews here. This is an alright book, but I learned little that isn't obvious or hasn't been covered in other material. This is a great book for beginners, but don't go telling me that that's who it's made for. I don't see anywhere on the book where it says "beginner's only." He mainly goes over how to keep yourself out of trouble in a tournament. You WILL get run over playing like this against people who know what they are doing. Serious players will notice how you play and run over you. Don't get me wrong, Harrington is one of the greatest NLHE tournament players ever, but I think that's due in part to things that can't be put in a book like this. That said, this will help you boost your ROI on the small internet ($20 and less) SNG's since the players are so horrible. Beginner's should look at this book first if they want to play tourney's, but don't expect to be the next Dan Harrington. Rating: - enertaining...If you want to know how to count your odds and bet properly than this book is for you. It was a bit help. I HIGHLY recommend this book! Rating: - Great book for beginning poker playersThe title is a bit deceiving, especially the part about "Expert strategy". Make no mistake this is a fabulous book, but there's no expert strategy introduced at all beyond the Squeeze play. This book is basically for people who've never played Hold Em before, or for those that are fairly new to the game and want to expand their knowledge. For winning or advanced players (I didn't fall in either category when I read it) you will find most of it boring. Rating: - Harrington on Hold 'em Expert Strategy for No Limit Tournaments, Vol. 1: Strategic PlayReading 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.... Rating:  - The BibleThis 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.
