First class service.
If you like to play conservative, you need this book! January 6, 2009
Harrington is a conservative poker genius! I will say upfront, if you are an aggressive player, you will not like this book. However, if you are trying to figure out how to win large tournaments or satellite tables, this book is a must-own for you!
I loved how Harrington put in a ton of situational questions that allow you to test your ability to master the skills taught in this book. Take your time and try to get these questions right, it will pay off in the long run.
By the time I was halfway through reading this book, I noticed a huge difference in where I was placing in online and video game tournaments. I have ordered his second book, and am getting ready to read it now. A lot of the first book's sections tell you to read the second book, and I would recommend it for any experienced player.
If you are a newbie to the game, this book will put you in a fantastic position to have a heads up on your friends. If you are experienced, this book will give you way more information than you can ever use, but you can pick and choose what to apply in your game.
You absolutely will be a better player after reading this book!
Enjoy!

Great tool for improving in playng Poker November 3, 2008
I'm from Italy, and here, too, this book is well known as a very useful tool for improving our skills in Hold 'em Tournaments.
what kind of knowledge do you have with out this series? October 15, 2008
all in all HOH series is one of the best series of poker books out there if not the best. after finishing the 1st book and starting the second i raked in 1 tourney win worth 120 dollers and a 5th place finish in a 2000 person field for 300 dollers back to back. i continue to win and im very happy that i chose these books first over anything else. i now own holdem for advanced players an a couple others but this series is what you want if your starting out. great overview of strategy and over time you will learn to incorporate your own mix of experience with the books.
