Harrington

[hansdebelge]

harringtons is great, like he said, for any parameters. it helps you with playing styles, defense against aggressive, conservative, super-aggresive. it also has preflop, postflop, turn and river play, with problems at the end of each chapter (these are scenarios that he lays out, tells you about the table, previous action, and asks what you should do. hell give you his recommendations and reasoning, and then tell you what the player in the hand actually did)

in my opinion, its better than sklanskys theory of poker or SSHE b/c there is less math and calculations than sklansky has. you dont have to do complex algorithms in your head to get the right play. its a great book to start with or sharpen your skills with.

Check out Sklansky's NL book and Harringtons; you can't build a house
without a measuring tape AND a hammer...

Good Luck

Sklansky has a NL book? What's the name of it?
