Harrington Cash Game Books!!!

Just thought i would let you all know Harrington is releaseing 2 cashgame books for No Limit Holdem. They are due to be release mid March.

More info here

Harrington is NL tournament hold'em god. So maybe he could be a NL ring game hold'em god? Hopefully! Those 2 books will be on my list!

I just pre-ordered both books from Amazon.com. They give you a 5% discount on each book you pre-order. And if the Amazon price goes down before the books ship, you get the lower price + the 5% pre-order discount. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! And with the free 2 day shipping, I'll have them in hand March 6.

Here is the editorial review for volume 1 from Amazon.

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The first years of the poker boom were fueled by the interest in no-limit hold em tournaments. Recently, however, players have been gravitating to another, even more complex form of hold em no-limit cash games.
In Harrington on Cash Games: Volume I, Dan Harrington teaches you the key concepts that drive deep-stack cash game play. You ll learn how to tailor your selection of starting hands to your stack size, how to recognize the increasing deception value of supposedly weaker hands as the stack sizes increase, and how to use the concept of pot commitment to your advantage as the size of the pot grows. After laying out the general concepts behind deep-stack cash game play, Harrington shows you a complete strategy for post-flop play, and then teaches you the difference between post-flop play against a single opponent and post-flop play against multiple opponents. If you play no-limit hold em cash games, you need to read this book. 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 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 Cash Games, Harrington and two-time World Backgammon Champion Bill Robertie have written the definitive books on no-limit cash games. These books will teach you what you need to know to be a winner in the cash game world.

If his cash-game books are half as good as his T-books, they would become an instant classic.

Harrington is probably one of the most underrated poker celebrities.

Expect we'll see these books in the UK by about Christmas

Nope, they're available for pre-order on the UK Amazon as well for March 4 release. So unless your post is very slow, you should have them by November.

That's fantastic news

Can't wait. March now seems an unbearably long way off.

I thought Harrington was a tourney specialist. I haven't heard about his cash game prowess. Guess we'll find out.

Harrington is a poker GOD! period.

In poker circles he is most definately not under rated but he is underated by general public/not hard out poker players who dont read books.

Yes i heard that thanks,ive been reading his first 2 to learn tourny play and they are fantastic

i'm looking forward to read these books

who isnt?

Well I definately am, but does anyone think the prices are a bit high? I guess I'm just spoiled because our library carries a lot of poker books, but $70+ for 2 books seems a bit much.

sign of the times
everything is getting more and more expensive

FYP

put it this way zach. if the books improve your winrate by 1bb/100 and you play $50 NL then it would take roughly 15k hands for them to pay for themselves and then you would be arning extra bb in profit every 100 hands you play. So over the long run if they improve your game they will theoretically pay for themselves so its like they are free! well sort of.

Does anybody know any of the topics that will be discussed in his new book that wasn't talked about in the other.

How to play in cash games

Read the review in Jack Daniels post #3 above.

i heard that they were supposed to be fantastic, and really grasp the concept of cash games, and he does a nice job separating tourney play and cash game play. i cant wait. and i think they are high priced because they are both supposedly 400+ pages, but 400+ pages of dan harrington knowledge that is priceless, and well worth the purchase!

Actually, $70 is priced.

now that i am playing live casino games more often, i think this would be a good thing to look into...hope it helps me out alot

Well it's reassuring to know that your great sense of humour has returned, even if your usual avatar hasn't

what i mean is, they are well worth the purchase, and once you read them, they will pay for themselves over and over again!!

Awesome news!

Off to preorder.

If you have read the volumes on Tourny play then you really can't complain about 70 dollars now. Those are the only ones I have read that actually explain something other than play top 10% hands in position and fold the rest. If reading and improving your game won't make you 70 dollars in the next year you are'nt playing poker for real. Education costs money at the table and off the table. It's much cheaper off the table. Not being an a-s-s- but it is true.................

Save up your Full Tilt points. You'll only prolly need about 16 kazillion.

Well if you simply buy them outright, then yeah you'll pay a lot more for them. But Amazon gives 5% off for pre-order. If the Amazon offered price comes down (like it does 99% of the time) then you get the discounted price AND the 5% pre-order discount. And you get free shipping from them. So instead of easily spending $75 or more with shipping charges, you can get them (like I am) for no more than $66.40. And if they cut the price even just 10% off the top, it'll just cost me $59.76. And for Harrington books, that money is well spent.

OK I'm convinced. Since it looks like I'll be hitting $1k ahead of schedule, I'll just wait until I'm at $1,070 and withdraw the $70 for the HoH cash game books.

Good plan, im doing the same except for a stoxpoker subscription. PS will probably have them in the VIP store aswell seing as they have most 2p2 books.

Super System was once considered the Bible of Poker. I dare to redefine it as the Old Testament of Poker.
Harrington of Hold'em is the New Testament of Hold'em Tournament Poker, and now Hold'em Cash Game Poker as well.

Well I pre-ordered the books off amazon, both volumes. Can't wait for them..a month is gonna be a while =/

i am in aggreement eith you sir. The new testament is here and Harrington is Jesus.
