Summary

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。

Not up to date anymore, but still a good guide for beginners。

David Ingvarsson

Well written but outdated

John Pollard

These series of books are simply inspired。 Worth the price tag though can get them cheap second hand。 The only improvement would be if Harrington could whisper in my ear while I am playing a real hand of poker, to tell me what I should be doing and why! Poker is the last holdout against AI; don't be fooled by the recent successes AI has had in heads-up poker, proper full table poker is another level of complicated。 These series of books are simply inspired。 Worth the price tag though can get them cheap second hand。 The only improvement would be if Harrington could whisper in my ear while I am playing a real hand of poker, to tell me what I should be doing and why!

Una buena opción para principiantes。 Escrito para otros tiempos, otro poker, aunque, analíticamente, es muy útil para quienes recién comienzan。

Ben Yang

A must read if you ever want to win any money at cash game。

Timothy

A lot of example problems。 Medium level。 Exclusively aimed at 9 man。

Eugene Tung

Good insight into the fundamentals of TAG play。

Brian Martin

Very good book if you are learning how to play no limit Texas Holdem!

Marcelo Abritta

Not nearly as good as the tournament version Harrington on Hold`em books。。。 Does not pass along the concepts, despite good hand walktroughs。 Not nearly as good as the tournament version Harrington on Hold`em books。。。 Does not pass along the concepts, despite good hand walktroughs。 。。。more

Wow!

TJ Shelby

I guess if you are brand new to poker, this book may be of assistance。 It is very generic。

Anthony F。 Cicali III

Must read for any advanced cash player 。。 Handles 1-2 to 5-10 range of NL , but also discusses some high stakes as well

Dan Harrington and Bill Robertie, Harrington on Cash Games: How to Win at No Limit Hold'em Money Games, vol。 I (Two Plus Two, 2008)It took me about fifty pages of volume 1 of Harrington on Cash Games before I started saying to myself, “this is as good as Harrington on Hold'em。” By the time I was finished with Volume 1, my only regret was that I didn't have Volume 2 to hand so I could start on it immediately。 If you've read Harrington on Hold'em, you know what to expect here (and if you haven't, Dan Harrington and Bill Robertie, Harrington on Cash Games: How to Win at No Limit Hold'em Money Games, vol。 I (Two Plus Two, 2008)It took me about fifty pages of volume 1 of Harrington on Cash Games before I started saying to myself, “this is as good as Harrington on Hold'em。” By the time I was finished with Volume 1, my only regret was that I didn't have Volume 2 to hand so I could start on it immediately。 If you've read Harrington on Hold'em, you know what to expect here (and if you haven't, and you're even a casual Hold'em player, you should pick it up right now。 Or don't, and keep giving me your money); the only difference is that the focus here is on cash games rather than tournaments。 Most people who have played both, including yours truly, will attest that yes, there is a very big difference between the two games。 Where cash games are concerned, I stick to limit; I learned my lesson very painfully by giving away about 20% of my bankroll in the space of an hour the first time I sat down at a medium-stakes no-limit cash game。 I have not been back in the ensuing couple of years; why bother, when I do so much better at no-limit tournaments and limit cash games? But it's always nagged at me that if I could just get my mind around the differences in mindset that eluded me about no-limit cash games, I could probably at least make back the few hundred I lost last time I gave it a shot。 Having made it back in tournaments is like blowing a bankroll betting the Kentucky Derby and making it all back betting maiden claimers; you have the money again, but you still want to hit the Derby for that big score, right? Enter Dan Harrington and his easy, accessible style of teaching。 I can tell you from personal experience that there's a very sharp line between my days as a losing poker player and my days as a winning one, and sitting in the no-man's-land between the two is Harrington on Hold'em。 How could I not pick this up, and once I saw that the similarities I expected were there, how could I not love it? My only real complaint, as with Harrington on Hold'em, is that I would have preferred to get the whole shebang in one volume。 It's not like poker players are unused to toting around doorstops。 Have you ever lugged Super/System around? I have, for a month。。。Simply out, and while I know a lot of people say this about their own books, I'm doing it as an independent source: Dan Harrington's books will turn you from a losing player into a winning player。 If you're a small-time winning-player, they might make you into a medium-time winning player。 There is absolutely, one hundred percent, no downside to reading Harrington on Hold'em or Harrington on Cash Games。 Do it, and do it now。 **** 。。。more

Dan Harrington is the master of poker instruction。 He takes the reader step by step through the no limit cash game and doesn't give them a roadmap, but instead the tools to analyze, evaluate your opponents possible holdings, and your options given the situation you encounter。 It's more than just a book, it's a complete course in playing the most popular card game on the planet。 I am sure that the price of the book will be returned hundreds of times over in profit。 Dan Harrington is the master of poker instruction。 He takes the reader step by step through the no limit cash game and doesn't give them a roadmap, but instead the tools to analyze, evaluate your opponents possible holdings, and your options given the situation you encounter。 It's more than just a book, it's a complete course in playing the most popular card game on the planet。 I am sure that the price of the book will be returned hundreds of times over in profit。 。。。more

Would I have been able to afford graduate school without this? The answer, friends, is no。
