Somebody once uttered the words “those who can’t do, teach”. The unspoken implication of this cliche is that those who can do, don’t bother mucking about in classes teaching their competition ways to be more competitive. If this phrase can be considered a rule, than Harrington would easily qualify as that rare exception.

Dan Harrington brings an impressive resume to the world of publishing. Not only has he scored World Series of Poker gold, but he has been a familiar face at the final table of the WSOP main event. Four times he has been in a seat where some of the biggest names in the game can only dream of. A strong background though has not always translated into good poker books. Many professionals have jingled their bracelets in the hope that we will be impressed into buying their literary efforts. In the end many ring hollow and are just pages filled with tips that are simply common sense playing. Harrington is a bright spot in this world of bad hold’em literature.
Harrington gives you full access to the brain that has brought him so much success. He holds nothing back in his advice, and to the horror of the professional playing public, gives away almost all of his secrets. His strategy advice is spot on, and, if followed, can make a newbie good, and a good player great.

The real genius in this book is not only is the advice absolutely top notch, but the presentation is flawless. He doesn’t try to prove he is the smartest guy in the room by talking above the heads of the reader. His writing is intellectually accessible to a broad range of readers, just about everyone, regardless of reading level, can get something out of this book.
