HOH Volume 1 - Book Discussion Announcement

#1 25th August 2008, 7:14 PM

A few of us are reading HOH Volume 1 and have decided we want to do a book discussion. We are going to discuss the book in parts. We are announcing it here in advance so that anyone who wants to join in will have time to purchase the book.

The first discussion will cover the introduction and Part 1. It will begin on Sept 24th. That will give you plenty of time to locate the book and read the first 34 pages.

Anyone is welcome to take part in the discussions. If enough people participate we will continue with other books.

Start your search for the best price now! JD found this for us:

Amazon.com: Harrington on Hold 'em Expert Strategy for No Limit Tournaments, Vol. 1: $23.48

Part 1 discussion - Sept 24th - Oct 8th http://www.cardschat.com/f11/hoh-volume-1-book-discussion-part-1-a-128317/
Part 2 discussion - Oct 9th - Oct 28th http://www.cardschat.com/f11/hoh-vol...49/#post947415

I don't know if they are still around, but I ordered a copy of this book for 5.99$ used on amazon. There were a few other copies for similar prices, but they may have gone now.

What do you mean by a book discussion? As in what will we do and in what media?

#3 25th August 2008, 9:31 PM

We will discuss what we learned, mistakes we have been making, help each other understand what he is saying, how we might work it into our game, etc.

#4 25th August 2008, 9:43 PM

On the forum?

#5 25th August 2008, 9:44 PM

Yes, in a specific thread.

#6 27th August 2008, 12:00 AM

Great idea. I have already read the book, but wouldn't mind reading it again and partaking in discussion.

If it works out well it would be a nice idea to continue w/ HOH 2 since it basically completes the entire Harrington strategy.

#7 27th August 2008, 12:01 AM

Yea - that is the tentative plan. So read section 1 again and join us!

#8 27th August 2008, 6:35 AM

Ok im gonna re-read it .

btw any idea what books are next?

#9 31st August 2008, 8:27 AM

Sindri, you seem like a cool guy. So I mean this in a serious way...

Wouldn't you consider this to be "piracy"? I could be wrong, but I don't think 2+2 Publishing sells e-book versions of their actual books. What's your view on this?

Tbh i dont know,a friend of mine who plays alot of poker gave my a CD with like 20-30 E-books on it.
Not sure where he got it(can ask him when i meat him tomorow) and i guess there is a chance he downloaded them somewhere.

One think thou if i where to buy a e-book and then e-mail a copy to a friend what whould be the difrence in that and going to the store buying a book and leting a mate borrow it? Just a thought.....

Any way i take no offense to your inquiary and if the mods feel im out of line with my offer please delete my earlyer post, i was just trying to help out .

#12 2nd September 2008, 1:12 AM

I am sure you meant no harm Sindri - but it is probably best if anyone who doesn't already have the book buys it legitimately.

Glad you are going to join us in the discussion!

#14 3rd September 2008, 4:40 AM

#17 4th September 2008, 12:23 AM

Im not Daks but here.....

Edit: Well she beat to it

#20 11th September 2008, 3:02 AM

Great idea. This is going to spur me on to finally read that book. Will I have to buy a green Red Sox cap and wear it tilted to one side too?

I saw somewhere that there's going to be a Poker After Dark "Mayfair Club Week" featuring Harrington and others who used to play a lot there (Erik Seidel, Steve Zolotow, Mickey Appelman, etc.). As tight as that group plays it'll take 3 weeks worth of shows for them to finish.

#21 16th September 2008, 4:57 AM

Well I got the set, just about finished Vol 1, when are we moving to Vol 2?
Very easily readable series, especially if you have already been through most of the others (gordon sklansky brunson etc.)...
So easy to take in, not sure why we need a month to read 30 pages... but I guess its best to focus on small sections at a time.
Lookin forward to the discussion, txs dak.

#22 16th September 2008, 12:56 PM

i read all 3 volume - very nice book

It wasn't just a month to read 30 pages. We wanted to give some people time to get the book if they didn't have it yet.

Though there is at least one of us who needed the whole month lol. I haven't started yet - but I have a long plane flight and time in airports this weekend so I have saved it for that.

Everybody get ready - discussion starts in 8 days.

#24 17th September 2008, 12:22 AM

good travelling then debi.

Prob with these books is you want to start putting them into practice right away, so hope you can get a wireless connection this wknd... or find a casino near the airport (whoops, missed another flight).

#25 17th September 2008, 12:26 AM

Lol - I do have a few hours in one of the airports - and my friend I am staying with has internet. I have a feeling I will wake much earlier than her so maybe I can get a little bit of playing in lol.

#26 17th September 2008, 4:17 PM

You can count me in. I'm in the middle of volume 2 but I will gladly reread the beginning of volume one to have a discussion.

#27 17th September 2008, 4:29 PM

Great - we would love to have you join us!

It says right there where the book is on Amazon that if I order within the next 7hrs and 40mins (or sumpin' like that) I can have it by Thursday Sept 18th---tommorrow! So I think I'll give it a try,eh?

#31 17th September 2008, 8:49 PM

internet or AOL or something was whack last night so I read my 34 pages
will read them again before discussion , looking forward to it

#32 18th September 2008, 3:12 AM

I checked the book out from the local library. I plan on getting my own copy, but, til then, I can check out several books for free to see if I'm really interested in buying them. And I am. I'm looking forward to these discussions and seeing how off base I really am.

#33 18th September 2008, 4:11 AM

Harrington on Hold'em Vol. 1 has to be one of, if not THE, greatest NLHE strategy book out there today. Even though it's designated toward the tournament end of things, many of the principles can be applied to cash games as well. I actually consider it my overall NLHE "Bible." It has everything.

Can't wait to get the ball rolling with all of you.

#34 19th September 2008, 10:55 PM

I will get in on this for sure. I started reading this a few months back and then didnt get all the way through (play poker or read poker? )

I will start again from scratch and particpate in this. I can't wait will we get to the part where he talks about min raising

#35 4th November 2008, 11:34 AM

So are we still on for the 24th?.
