Please, Don't Buy This Book (Let me win instead)!!! I set out to buy a book on Poker, specifically on no limit hold 'em, and started reading the reviews on Amazon to decide which one to buy. After reading the reviews up here on Harrington's book, I decided to buy it. Boy, am I glad I did. I don't know why I'm putting this review up, because I've made some ok money in the few times I've played since reading the bood, and I can't understand why I would want others to play better, but I guess I owe a debt to those who gave great reviews before me. This book is very easy to read, I breezed through it in a matter of a couple of days. It has problems at the end of each chapter that test your skills and strategy. I found, as the book went on, that I was able to think more and more like Harrington suggests a good hold 'em player should. More importantly, I began succeeding in the poker clubs. I've used the thoughts from this book to play no limit and limit games at local card clubs, as well as in Las Vegas, where I made final table at a no limit tourney (and played a hand very well pre-flop that almost went my way and would've put me in the chip lead at that table had it stayed right). This book lays out strategy that sound intuitive once you consider it. He recommends a fairly conservative style of play, but when you begin understanding the way the table works, you realize that you can play other styles as well, using the tools he's equipped you with. All in all, a great book, and hope that Harrington makes more money from his poker than he does from this book, or it's trouble for all of us.
