Harrington on Hold'em: Expert Play for No-Limit Tournaments, Volume II: Endgame

Dan Harrington

Well, Harrington on Hold'em vol. I was fantastic; why should we expect anything less from volume II? And it should be no surprise when Harrington delivers.

In Volume I, we learned about early- and middle-stage play. Volume II covers the endgame-- short tables, short stacks, getting blinded out, that sort of thing. If the book does have a weakness, it's that most of Harrington's scads of examples put the player on a medium or high stack; one would expect a book aimed at teaching players to reflect more of where they're likely to be, which is at the bottom of the barrel. While Harrington does address this situation on occasion, it's not terribly often.

Volume III, a workbook, is poised and ready to drop as I write this. Can't wait.
