This takes up right where Vol. 1 left off and keeps it going in the same smart, detailed style that made the first book one of the best poker books you can find out there. . Harrington and Robertie are a tour de force, dismantling the concepts that many of the best players bring to their games as winning players and articulate them in ways that less experienced (although you will need some level of understanding of the game) players can understand and quickly implement the ideas and advice. As with the first book, the hand examples are one of the strongest parts of this book, helping you see how the ideas and concepts are actualized in hand play, and real hand play, not a simplified mock-up that feels like you'll never encounter in a real game. Personally, this helped address one of the biggest issues I have in my poker game, which is adapting my game as the conditions change, specifically late in tournaments when blind size starts becoming a bigger and bigger deal and necessitates a change in playing style. In this book, Harrington and Robertie make the case for adapting styles with conditions in such a clear and usable way that I felt like I was immediately ready to sign up for a tournament the next day. I think someone else wrote here that they hope this doesn't sell too many copies. This is the only downside I can see from this book, since I fear it's too easy to substantially improve your tournament play with this book, and therefore affect my tournament winnings. But I guess that's life.

There are many poker books with top-notch theory, but what really sets the Harrington on Hold 'Em series apart is the excellent selection of hand examples with full analysis. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to enhance their game.

Don't buy this book. Really. Dan Harrington can't play and this book proves it. If you bought this book return it for a refund. Don't tell your friends about this, no need. Better yet Amazon should get this book off the market, no help for anyone. Really. Are you convinced yet? No? Damn. Well it was worth a try.

I'm from Italy, and here, too, this book is well known as a very useful tool for improving our skills in Hold 'em Tournaments
