Default Re: Tough Turn Decision

Also, Ciaffrone's book is pretty weak/tight IIRC and what you really want is Harrington on Hold'Em 1 (but not 2.)

Well ... not to hijack the thread, but I take a little exception to this characterization of Ciaffone's book (not taking anything away from Harrington's, which is superb also). The focus of the two books is different. Harrington is for tourney play and Ciaffone is more geared toward cash play. IMO, the main differences between the advice has to do with deep stack vs medium/short stack play.

My advice is to buy both and make up your own mind. But to date, Ciaffone's explanation of the effect of how differing stack sizes can radically change the correct play is the best I've read.
