Done reading HOH 2....anyone else ? lets discuss
 

I am going to be the first to predict that the Inflection point theory will be misused by many to justify going all in with trash. I obviously need to reread it but after reading it once I just wonder how bad online tourneys will be now. I always here some idiot trying to justify his play by taking something he read on a book and completely misusing the concept.

Other than that 2+2ers will really benefit from it. Anyeone finished with it so we can discuss?

I'm just finishing up chapter 9. I know it's going to change my game up quite a bit. I've always still waited for a better than average hand when I hit the Red Zone. Now I know not to let it happen and to make a move much sooner than with 2 rounds left.

This is definitely true. It is funny but the last final table I got to I got there by playing the correct way when I thougth I was being a maniac. I went in with any two and picked the blinds and antes 2-3 times in a row while I was in the red zone. This built my stack up and some doubles ups with actual decent hands got me to the final table.

i'm on p. 200.

it'll certainly be used. misused? i don't think so. in short, he's saying a move with any two when you're first in and in the redzone is very often correct. kinda hard to misuse that, right?

that being said, the fish don't read books like this one. they read hellmuth, if anything.

i <3 you, dan harrington, for providing these two books.

Many of the concepts are certainly groundbreaking and, even though I have gotten more out of volume 1 as I've read it so many times, I think there's a good chance volume 2 ends up being the most profitable and revolutionary of the two.

Regardless, of the poker names putting out books, Harrington has definitely set the bar VERY high for those coming out with new books in the future.

Hi,

I think you've called 80% of you stack with KK vs a buttom push with T4 and lost a few to many times.

Frankly, seeing people talk about it makes me pissed I didn't preorder. I was thinking, hmmm, I will just stop by B&N one day after work. Needless to say, it isn't in yet, and I am crying about it. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Hi,

I read it last night. I'm must missing the revolutionary bits. All of what was discussed is 'common' knowledge in the MTT and SnG forums.

It is nice to have Harrington confirm the strategies discussed in those forums as being good and profitable.

Thanks,
MarkV.

Well Mvicuna I think Harrington does a way better job at explaining concepts and showing new ones like M factor. I really don't think that people other than paul phillips in this board are at that level. It is funny how much credit you give people on these boards as even Greg Raymer didnt realize what Harrington was doing when he reraised Raymer and Arieh with 62o. He commented on it during his espn commentary that that hand was not in his mind.

I've yet to pick it up, but I have a general question. Will Volume 2 help my SnG play more than Volume 1?
