hi there

just a quick question here

if i was to buy hoh vol.2:the endgame is it worth me buying vol.1 as well or are most of the same aspects covered in vol.1 repeated in vol.2?

Amazon has an offer thats all.

Thanks

Get both, now!!!

I read volume 1 and was like WOW!
I am reading volume 2 currently, and double WOW!
They both have a little of the same info so far, but both are uniquely in depth covering every aspect of tournament player. Volume 1 + 2 are a must have for anyone who wants to be a good, serious tournament player.

Don't buy either. Wait for Volume 3 to come out, it will cover aspects from both of the previous books at a fraction of the price!

Buying them now is +++++EV that will more than make up for any money saved a year or two from now.

I have both books and I'm about 2/3 of the way through Vol. 1 (reading it very carefully and studying the problems presented by Dan). I can't imagine a cliff notes version of Vol. 1 insearted into Vol. 2 that would help you get anything out of what was in Vol 1. There is just so much to learn and study in Vol. 1 you would lose out on that knowledge.

The only exception I can think of is if you are an aggressive player, since volumn one follows a conservative mindset. Even still, it will help you understand conservative players in early to mid level rounds of tournaments.

Consider it a book in two parts, so it's not the same thing like SuperSystem 2 where many won't buy SS1 because of it.

Buy both. It's well worth it.

Vol 3 will be hand quizzes I think, not a rehash. Get all three.
