Good Push Situations?

WhiskeyTown: I think your hand range for the repopper is way too narrow. He has 2600. The bet is 600 to him. He should be pushing with a lot more hands here than just AA,KK, and AK. I would expect JJ, 1010, AK, AQ to push here and that's still kind of narrow. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see 99, 88, or 77.

An aggressive player could even make this move with suited connectors. Even if the blinds folded, this would be a very hard call for the original raiser, since there is another caller yet to act. Harrington describes this pretty well in HoH, I think he calls it the squeeze move or the sandwich effect.

Could you please tell me the name of this book, and is it good? How does it compare to Sklansky's TPFAP?
What all does it cover?
Thank you.

Harrington on Hold'em.

It's different from TPFAP in a lot of ways. It's more practical, with focus on real situations and how Harrington would play them. A great book, but it's not as packed with information as some other 2+2 books. So it's an easier read, but might not be worth as many rereads as say SSH.
