Harrington on Holdem III
By Dan Harrington and Bill Robertie

The
truly excellent series Harrington on Holdem ends with this book, which
mainly contains example hands.
The major value for students may actually
lie in the section on playing Sit and Go tournaments on the bubble.
I certainly had my eyes opened by the
examples he shows, where much more than even the final table of a MTT,
your decision to call all-in when on the bubble in a SNG should be a
very careful one.
There's loads of example hands from major
tournaments,
with Harringon and Robertie's usual card-by-card analysis explaining
both sides of the story and what
was going through the minds of both players involved.
Excellent stuff.
You don't have to have read the first two
books to get something from Harrington on Holdem III, but it will help
you a lot, especially when you consider advanced concepts like M theory.
Throughout the series, the writing and
explanation of
the authors' thoughts has been clear and concise, not something you
could accuse many poker authors of. Poker books have got a lot better
in recent years, but Harrington's series puts many of them to shame.
Harrington on Holdem III cannot be recommended on its own
merits, as it's really important totreat it as further
exercises for the study you've already undertaken in parts one and two.
However, that caveat aside, you should
definitely make
this book part of your poker library. It's a worthy end to a fantastic
series.
