Review:
This book brings Dan Harringtons excellent teaching style straight to the novice Cash game player for No Limit Texas Holdem. The book demands that the reader has some knowledge of Poker, this is not an ABC guide of Poker from "how to play in position" the reader should have a basic grounding of strategy before embarking on unravelling this book. The book mostly deals with pre-flop and post-flop play and whilst the turn and river are covered, Harrington leaves the in depth discussion of fourth and fifth street to the second book (Harrington on Cash Games 2 - Blue Book) which focuses more on the turn and river play and strategies. What I enjoyed about this book is that I picked it up with little if any knowledge of cash games but finished the book fairly confident I could mix it with even a reasonable cash game player. Especially at the lower limits, you will be much better equipt for having read this book than not. Players at the lower levels are generally straight forward and understanding the virtues of the books principles will stand you in good stead. The way that you approach cash games is different to tournaments, and Harrington really drills down on what the main differences are - especially when it comes to dealing with pocket pairs, position, and hole cards in relation to the size of your stack. The size of your stack of chips makes a lot of difference to how you play the hand. Harrington uses clever analogies to demonstrate the differences between what hands you play compared to what you might do in tournaments where blinds are high and you must act decisively with strong pre-flop hands. This is possibly the hardest thing for a cash game newbie to grasp. You really can, with good intentions, play 10 8 offsuit (in position) in order to gain the opportunity to win your opponents entire stack, whilst in a tournament that would be stretching the "mix it up" deception plays to the maximum. Check this book out on amazon.co.uk by following the link. It is not cheap, but worth consideration if you are seriously wanting to understand the principles of cash game play.
