| Harrington on Hold'em
Expert Strategy for No Limit Tournaments |
|
Poker has taken America by storm. But it's not just any form of poker that has
people across the country so excited - it's no-limit hold 'em - the main event
game. And now - thanks to televised tournaments - tens of thousands of new players
are eager to claim their share of poker glory.
In the first volume of this series, Harrington on Hold 'em: Volume I: Strategic
Play, Dan Harrington explained how to play in the early phases of tournaments,
when most players at the table had plenty of chips, and the blinds and antes
were small. This book, Harrington on Hold 'em: Volume II: The Endgame shows you
how to play in the later phases of a tournament, when the field has been cut
down, the blinds and antes are growing, and the big prize money is within sight.
Harrington shows you how to make moves, handle tricky inflection point plays,
and maneuver when the tournament is down to its last few players and the end
is in sight. He's also included a whole chapter on heads-up play, whose strategies
up to now have been a closely-guarded secret of the game's top masters.
Dan Harrington won the gold bracelet and the World Champion title at the $10,000
buy-in No-Limit Hold 'em Championship at the 1995 World Series of Poker. And
he was the only player to make it to the final table in 2003 (field of 839) and
2004 (field of 2,576) - considered by cognoscenti to be the greatest accomplishment
in WSOP history. In Harrington on Hold 'em, Harrington and two-time World Backgammon
Champion Bill Robertie have written the definitive book on no-limit hold 'em
for players who want to win - and win big. |

Advanced Players |

Texas Hold 'em is not an easy game to play well. To become an expert
you must balance many concepts, some of which occasionally contradict
each other. In 1988, the first edition appeared. Many ideas, which
were only known to a small, select group of players, were made available
to anyone who was striving to become an expert, and the hold 'em explosion
had begun. It is now a new century, and the authors have again moved
the state of the art forward by adding over 100 pages of new material,
including extensive sections on 'loose games,' and 'short-handed games.' Anyone
who studies this text, is well disciplined, and gets the proper experience
should become a significant winner. Some of the other ideas discussed
include play on the first two cards, semi-bluffing, the free card,
inducing bluffs, staying with a draw, playing when a pair flops, playing
trash hands, desperation bets, playing in wild games, reading hands,
and psychology.
David Sklansky is generally considered the number one authority on gambling in the world today. Besides his ten books on the subject, David also has produced two videos and numerous writings for various gaming publications. His occasional poker seminars always receive an enthusiastic reception, including those given at the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City and the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.
More recently, David has been doing consulting work for casinos, Internet gaming sites, and gaming device companies. He has recently invented several games, soon to appear in casinos. |
