HOH Volume 1 is strategy for early/middle no-limit tournaments, HOH Volume 2 is primarily the later stages. I would recommend reading them in order.

I suggest you read Volume 1, too. Mostly because more than half of the book is "Betting on the flop", "Betting after the flop" and another part "Betting on turn and river." Nice example hands. Don't think that those books are just the same book but wrote twice for higher profit as it is many times. They actually talk about different stuff. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The first volume's advice can be applied to NL ring games.

Definetly read them in order. It took me about a week to read both. Now im going through and marking main ideas. I would recomend strongly reading the first one it definetly opens up nicely for the second one to be a fun read.

The order you read them in will not matter unless you are a rank beginner. Volume 1 deals with relatively deep money play. Volume 2 deals with shallower money play, apart from chapter 1 which is really an extension fo volume 1.
