Harrington on Hold'em, Volume 1
by Dan Harrington and Bill Robertie
“Harrington on Hold ‘Em” takes you to the part of the game the cameras ignore – the tactics required to get through the hundreds and sometimes thousands of hands you need to win to make it to the Final Table and the thrilling “All in.” Harrington’s sophisticated winning strategies, focusing on what it takes to survive the early and middle stages of No-Limit Hold ‘Em tournaments, are appearing here for the first time in print. These are the techniques the top players use again and again to make it to Final Tables around the globe.
Now, learn from one of the world’s most successful No-Limit Hold ‘Em players how to vary your style, optimize your betting patterns, analyze hands, respond to a re-raise, play to win the most money possible, how to react when a bad card hits and much, much more.
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 it to the Final Table in 2003 (field of 839) and 2004 (field of 2576) – considered by cognoscenti to be the greatest accomplishment in WSOP history. In “Harrington on Hold ‘Em,” Harrington and 2-time World Backgammon Champion Bill Robertie have written the definitive book on No-Limit Hold ’Em for players who want to win … and win big.

Harrington on Hold'em, Volume 2
by Dan Harrington and Bill Robertie
"Harrington and Robertie have surely done it again -- even more powerfully than in their first volume. They have presented the authoritative text about how to think about and how to play a final table in a no limit hold em tournament. And in so doing they have redefined the game. Harrington and Robertie introduce a whole new lexicon (at least it was new to me) about no limit poker: inflection points, red zones, dead zones, green zones, probe bets, continuation bets. Some of these phrases I had heard -- maybe even dropped to impress people from time to time. But they explain them clearly and tie them all together in a vivid strategic picture of the game. But even if you were familiar with all of these terms and phrases that help clarify the many otherwise intuitive concepts of no limit tournament play, you've never read a simpler, clearer or more powerful explanation of them -- and all of the different stages players enter as their stack size grows and diminishes at the final table in a tournament. Similarly so with other vital concepts to no limit play like continuation and probe bets and final table play. Harrington and Robertie take the ideas that excellent players have intuitively known but until now have not fully expressed and put them into clear, simple language that any moderately experienced player can readily grasp and absorb. The hand examples, which the authors think us through further drive home the key points of this masterwork. To say that this is a must read for every serious hold em player doesn't do it justice. It is a book that has set a new standard for poker literature. Even if you are a very experienced winning no limit tournament player, this book will help you think and play. And I don't think that it is overstating it to say that it will significantly change the way players talk and write about the game in the future. Bravo Harrington and Robertie. Your two volumes are by far the best I have ever read -- and I've read just about everything that's out there."
