User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars This is a great, great book!
This book is one of the most helpful books I have ever read. If you play online hold ‘em this is a great book to start with to understand the strategies. It improved my play tremendously to where I began to win tournaments and understand and predict my opponents’ actions. The “Problems” presented in the book are hypothetical game situations that require you to decide what you should do when faced with a certain table situation. These are INVALUABLE to helping you learn what to look for, how to evaluate it, and how to react. If you’re tired of losing money, read and understand this book and you will begin to win.
4 Stars Great book to extend your poker knowledge
I’ve play plenty of games of poker, at casino and small bar tournaments. I was looking to gain more knowledge and after reading reviews for about 20 poker books I decided to start here. After all was said it done it was a fairly solid read with a good amount of information. I never really thought about pot odds or implied odds until I read this book. If you’re a pro who has these things on their minds constantly when playing, I wouldn’t think this is a book you would be to interested in. But for a beginner this is a good starting poking on how you should be think when your at the table.
5 Stars One of the smartest poker books you’ll read
I think that when we’re thinking about buying a poker book we weigh a lot of factors like what we want to learn, where are the holes in our game, and what’s the likelihood that we can use what the book is supposed to teach…quickly. And I think we often walk away from the good poker books as better players, just not always quickly. I found that books like Sklansky’s Poker Theory and Super System are great resources and I have definitely benefited by reading them, but I don’t think I ever felt like my game improved as quickly as it did after reading Harrington on Hold’em, beginning with Vol. 1.
The reasons are three fold:
Specificity: I feel like I’m not just given general advice, but actual analysis of real hands, and all the details that go with them, helping me better understand how to actually implement the ideas.
Clarity: Too many poker books feel like it has to be complicated to be good. Harrington writes with an easy-to-understand style that doesn’t get bogged down even as it goes into detail. It’s simple enough for a beginner, but doesn’t sound patronizing.
Basic not stupid: Too many people when reviewing poker books take issue with books by saying they’re for beginners. Well poker isn’t that complicated, no matter how hard Sklansky tries to make it. The point is that a good poker book often gets pretty basic because that’s the core to good poker. Doesn’t make it only for beginners. This book just does that even better than most.
5 Stars Great Poker Book
I am a newcomer in holdem and with this book i learnt to play poker. This book gives you all information to build up your skills to a average pokerplayer.The best part of this book is the preflop strategy.The Harrington on holdem Expert is a must for every tight player.
5 Stars Excellent book, here’s my review
I got this book due to all the great reviews here. First I was to say that I live in Australia and I got the book within 2 weeks, so coutos to amazon for a great service. The book show you how to play the odds not the cards, so if you lose in any tourney it will because you have bad luck not that you played incorrectly. Great book, sometimes a little complicated but all in all very glad I got it.
I am pretty new to poker and had never won a penny in any tourney. After I read this book I won 5, 10 man tourneys in a row with the guys at work. I also missed out by only 3 places to qualify for the WSOP in las vegas
