Harrington on hold em
and Doyles supersystem

ive read a ton of them. my two favorites are 1. The mathematics of poker 2. Harrington on Holdem series.

the first one is pretty much a statistics text book and totally breaks down EV and exploitave play. the second one is definelty the best bread and butter guide to winning a MTT

yep i agree that book does wonders

I have a question for ya. I still have a lot to learn about poker and understanding the game. But say I wanna start from the beggining what order should I read the Harrington books?

they go in progressive order. the first one discusses general pre flop opening and calling ranges from the various posistions concentrating on the beginning and middle of a tournament. the second book is about inflection points and important make or break decisions late in tournaments. I think the second one is where he describes M but that might be the first. I dont remeber the third but i think the first 2 are the important ones

Just wondering what a good book would be. i have never read a full poker book just lots of blogs and stuff on the internet. I love MTT's but im only profitable playing 9 man sitters. Looking for a book to really get into depth about sng play. anyone know any good reads?

Told myself to read Harrington on hold-em volume 1 before I played another session. I finished today and have hit 1 FT and just in general winning today. Now I have to read volume 2, but I highly recommend reading volume I. I've read super systems but I believe I learned more through Harrington by participating the problems and toanswer the question to myself before proceeding to read the difference in your play vs his play.

Can't wait to read vol. II.

:D just got HoH vol1 , Super System, and Winning Poker Tournaments One Hand at a Time on my doorstep yesterday, Christmas came early at my house. I flipped through each a bit last night and I don't think I'll be dissappointed. Recognizing a lot of things I've learned on p5 but pumped to get into even more of the "why" side of things and applying it to the tables.

There are two SNG bibles: Sit-N-Go Strategies (I think) by Colin Moshman & Secrets of Sit-N-Go's by Phil Shaw. Jennifear (a highly respected teacher) likes the Shaw book best, but I think I liked the Moshman one a little better. Either are very good.

anyone that want harrington on holdem 1,2 ,3 pm me with a yahoo email addy and ill get em out within a week

Totally agree that the guy offering to send out copies of these books is a tool. Some of the people who have written poker books that are being pirated are my friends and I know how much work they put in to these books. Writing a book is a ton of work and you are screwing the author when you give that stuff away.

Kill Everyone is far superior. Gethte Revised Elky Edition, his commentary is quite good. I n Europe the book is actually called Kill Elky, but it's the same book. Kill Phil is just okay.
