Book Reviews of Harrington on Hold 'em: Expert Strategies for No Limit Tournaments, Vol. III--The Workbook
Book Review: Good Analysis... Ignore Scoring System
Summary: 5 Stars
The truth is- this is one of the 1st paperback poker books that I bought.(the other being Little Green Book on same day) I've been playing with "play money" poker online for over a year now. Most of my NL poker knowledge came from playing Sit-N-Go(SNG), 900(Fulltilt)~8000(Partypoker) freeroll MTT, and information from various poker forums. I've won $2.00 on Fulltilt freeroll once and lost most of that balance by finishing 8th place through a SNG tournment.
I'm in no way experienced enough to make the jump from a freeroll player into a $500 N/L buy-in tournaments or $10/20 cash player. I do, however, know the importance of M and position, calculation of pot odds and implied odds. If the blinds are relative small, I play a lot of small pots and trust my post-flop skills when I play against weak players; I'll need good position to play against strong players, because I can't outplay them in the long run. Those are the things I know before I read this book.
Having said that, I scored a "448/591"(I scored "0" 27 times) on the Harrington's scoresheet, which implied I sould be "A very good player who should show a solid profit in big tournaments"---No, I don't deserve that.
I am amazed with the amount of trouble Mr. Harrington went through to provide detailed explanation for each example. One of my favorites is Daniel's 9h8h (from 3rd position, full table) Vs. Sam's 9s2s (button) in 2005 WSOP main event. The explanation of how to play 9h8h from pre-flop to river is 9 pages long, almost as long as my mid-term electromagnetics report. (and yes, it is much more interesting than my report) Before this book came out, I was very interested of how Daniel can lay down such a monster after river. Now I know Daniel made the laydown base upon combined information of hand strengths (his and Sam's) after turn and river, evaulation of Sam's style, and Daniel's stack relative to blinds(M was big). I think Daniel knows in the long run, if the exact situation comes up again, folding would be better than calling, and thus we saw an excellent laydown by Daniel. What an excellent example by Mr. Harrington.
On the flip side, the scoring system is not as good as I thought. There are some plays I'd like to do when I'm changing gears, or after I've already changed gears. For example, I'm in cut-off seat, and I flip my cards and see Ac10c, I might call, raise, or raise-big according to some other factors that Mr. Harrington didn't take into consideration. I've gained and lost a lot of scoring points just base upon the initial decision.
Bottom Line: Read the analysis carefully, don't worry about the scoring system. A great book for intermediate and expert players.
