Product Description
Poker has taken America by storm. But it's not just any form of poker that has people across the country so excited it's no-limit hold 'em the main event game. And now, thanks to televised tournaments, tens of thousands of new players are eager to claim their share of poker glory. PIn the first volume of this series, iHarrington on Hold 'em: Volume I: Strategic Play,/i Dan Harrington explained how to play in the early phases of tournaments, when most players at the table had plenty of chips, and the blinds and antes were small. This book, iHarrington on Hold 'em: Volume II: The Endgame/i shows you how to play in the later phases of a tournament, when the field has been cut down, the blinds and antes are growing, and the big prize money is within sight. Harrington shows you how to make moves, handle tricky inflection point plays, and maneuver when the tournament is down to its last few players and the end is in sight. Hes also included a whole chapter on heads-up play, whose strategies up to now have been a closely-guarded secret of the game's top masters. PDan 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 2,576) considered by cognoscenti to be the greatest accomplishment in WSOP history. In iHarrington on Hold 'em,/i Harrington and two-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.

Best of the best!!! October 12, 2009

The first volume is very good. But this one is the best. Harrington makes you to win. It shows you to play in the later phases of a tournament. Read that stuff.
The Harrington series remains the classic poker tournament text July 14, 2009
Poker Pro (New York)
Some books are so good that they define their field. Every book that comes after may agree, disagree, or clarify what a definitive book has to say on its subject, but there is one thing subsequent books can't do: they can't ignore it. If you're a serious tournament poker player, you can't ignore the Harrington series. This is THE classic text on Texas hold em poker tournament strategy, bar none.
br /
br /Vol. 2 continues the greatness of Harrington's series by moving away from the formulaic, conservative approach taken in Vol. 1. This is understandable, since you have to learn to walk before you can run. And by the time you finish Harrington Vol. 2, you'll be ready for the speed trials! Words like "highly recommended" can be overused, so I'll just say you'd be crazy to gamble any serious amount of money without buying and completely absorbing all three of Harrington's books. You should also re-read them right before any major event to clarify your thinking. They're THAT good!
br /
br /I'd also recommend The Poker Tournament Formula and Poker Tips that Pay: Expert Strategy Guide for Winning No Limit Texas Hold em for readers that are looking beyond the Harrington series, for additional hand-based poker strategies and techniques. Both books compliment Harrington's approach to the game quite well.
Excellent June 14, 2009

If you understood and enjoyed v1, then this is a must. It certainly goes deeper into the topic, but gives some great advice for those looking to hone their strategies for late play. Strongly recommend v3 workbook.
The Hits Keep on Coming March 10, 2009

This takes up right where Vol. 1 left off and keeps it going in the same smart, detailed style that made the first book one of the best poker books you can find out there. . Harrington and Robertie are a tour de force, dismantling the concepts that many of the best players bring to their games as winning players and articulate them in ways that less experienced (although you will need some level of understanding of the game) players can understand and quickly implement the ideas and advice.
br /
br /As with the first book, the hand examples are one of the strongest parts of this book, helping you see how the ideas and concepts are actualized in hand play, and real hand play, not a simplified mock-up that feels like you'll never encounter in a real game.
br /
br /Personally, this helped address one of the biggest issues I have in my poker game, which is adapting my game as the conditions change, specifically late in tournaments when blind size starts becoming a bigger and bigger deal and necessitates a change in playing style. In this book, Harrington and Robertie make the case for adapting styles with conditions in such a clear and usable way that I felt like I was immediately ready to sign up for a tournament the next day.
br /
br /I think someone else wrote here that they hope this doesn't sell too many copies. This is the only downside I can see from this book, since I fear it's too easy to substantially improve your tournament play with this book, and therefore affect my tournament winnings. But I guess that's life.
Simply the best January 30, 2009

There are many poker books with top-notch theory, but what really sets the Harrington on Hold 'Em series apart is the excellent selection of hand examples with full analysis. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to enhance their game.
