 Extremely disappointing August 7, 2010

There is no actual instruction material in this book. It is simply poker hand after poker hand with a discussion of each hand. I find this appoach essentially useless.
 It's good but not quite Harrington July 12, 2010
R. sweeney (Pa.)
This is a very good good book. I would recomend this book after reading Harrington volumns one, two and three.
Good book, don't get kindle version June 14, 2010
RayScarr (Chicago)
I was really happy with the though process of each players thoughts during a hand. Keep in mind they know the results ahead of time (its their own hands), so there is the possibility of a results oriented remarks. For instance, if the hero calls with T6 and hits a straight, he can claim he had odds, and if he loses all-in with AK, he can argue that that player was tighter than he thought, etc.
Lastly, I bought the kindle version and regretted it. You will constantly want to keep going back and forth to see position and stack sizes, difficult to do on the kindle if the setup is 3 pages back. Take the extra day and $2 and get the actual book.
I bought volume 2 physical.
Great quality, similar format to Harrison books June 2, 2010
Christopher Bishop (Los Angeles, CA USA)
I like the format that has actual hand examples. Be careful as you read not to just focus on the cards; the information on opponents (reads, history, tournament type, etc) and stack sizes are also important parts of the analysis.
Most of the examples are for higher-buy-in online tournaments, so don't try to apply your new knowledge at the $3 tourneys. Otherwise, great buy from 3 great minds. One of my favorite poker books.
One of the best poker books out there! May 3, 2010

This book is easy to read. I really appreciate the time that the authors took to articulate their thought process and why they took the actions that they did. It's hard to remember everything but I know that in a few tournaments that I was in where a similar situation came up, I recalled the hand analysis and I felt that the book has helped me to make better decisions on how to play a hand. I would definitely recommend this book and am looking forward to reading Volume II.
