Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Absolutely Spot On
This book is the bible for deep stack cash game play. Highly recommended to anyone who plays cash games.



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - More garbage from 2+2.
How many worthless poker books can 2+2 sell to the mob? This book covers no new ground. Everything written is super simple, common sense, beyond obvious, elementary. The hand examples are ridiculous. It's like they are teaching kindergarteners. What is written in this book is BEYOND OBVIOUS.
Waste of money.




Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - boring
you need to play the game these books are boring unless they are telling great stories about hands they have been in. Instead the writers try to act like their some great scientific theories the writers can pass on to you and its bull.
you can buy this book from me for half price!!! there now you won some money already.
buddy



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Another excellent book from Harrington
This is a must read for any non- or only marginally winning player. While it is true that much of what he discusses is available elsewhere (with several hundred "how to play hold-em" books available, how could it be otherwise?), Harrington's style and use of detailed hand descriptions, explaining the thought process required to read your opponents hand, makes it one of the most useful guides out there.

It is true that these books are not as easily applicable to play as his wonderful tournament books. I believe this is due to the greater complexity of the live games. Much of the action in a tournament is effectively forced by the increasing blinds and relative stack sizes. In the cash game, especially the deep stack cash games, that forcing factor is greatly reduced. The greater variety in the variables to indicate a "correct" play would challenge any writer. I think Harrington's book (especially Volume II) is the best one out there.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Finally a cash game book!
This book along with the very first volume are the only books that I found to give in-depth coverage aimed specifically at NLHE Cash Games. The biggest thing going for the books is that they're thorough. Around 800 pages of strategy, quizzes, examples, and some light mathematical explanations. Thankfully, not a page wasted on teaching you how to play. Even the English is quite good! (Most poker books are near unreadable.) I reread this before every game to tighten up and remind me to be aggressive and I've certainly improved. I actually ENJOY reading it, too.

The only downside might be that the examples seem sometimes inconsistent, such as recommending a raise 80% of the time in one situation and 70% in another where it seems the recommendations should be reversed, though who am I to judge? Harrington's playing style is very tight and very loose players might find too few recommendations on how to act in situations with poor hands.

Neither of the above gripes is enough to knock these books down from a 5-star review. In short, you'll enjoy reading this book and play better afterward. Definitely get the very first volume, too.
