I actually read Harrington 3 first. It is like a quiz. You have options on what to do in certain situations. I read it to see where i stand. I would defenately recommend this book.
I have the first two so I will get this eventually (as the first 2 are AWESOME) is it basically the same as the end of chapter examples for those books?
For NEW items, you need to go to the forum that would be appropriate for your post and click on the "New Thread" button on the left. If you want to add to something that you are reading, go to the bottom of the page and type your response in the blank box.

Yup, except more so. Some interesting individual hands, but you also get to follow through a few series of hands between pro players against each other, as well as a heads-up end of tourney series. Also, all the choices are listed one after the other and the discussion doesn't happen until after the hand, as opposed to the first ones where each step is analyzed as it occurs. More like a quiz in structure.
If you like the first, you'll like the second. If you like the first two, you'll like the third.
I have the book beside me right now! I am reading it this week and it offers a lot of insights that I had no idea of.
Basically, there are 50 hands and you go through a series of multiple choices of what to do in each hand. Dan is going to give you a score of your choices and explains in detail.
Yet I think there is no definite answer of playing a hand sometimes. Most of the time I find the reasoning great, but sometimes... like what Dan writes, this is his book so you listen to him!
