The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k.  “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi.  Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

Hi,

The 3 books by Dan Harrington are a series and together make up the complete package. Part one is the beginning of a tournament, part 2 is the endgame and headsup, part 3 is a book of poker situations - a quiz of sorts. I think that is right.

If you havent read it buy the Theory of Poker by David Sklansky - the only book you will ever need.

Amazon is a good place to get poker books from  and I think Blonde have a link

Good luck

Harrinton isnt the be all and end all is the only bit of advice ill give you.  But volume 1 is a compulsory read. Read some more practical MTT advice, Vines and McEvoy How to win NLHE tournies is good. Steer clear of the TJ/McEvoy books which really are an excercise in weak tight poker, more suited to well structured comps.

The best advice is free on the 2+2 forums. Also the short-stacked theory post on Andy Wards Secrets of the amateurs blog is A grade material. Hope you do well.
Is way too limit orientated and a bit too tough for inexperienced students. My advice, save this until you have a deeper knowledge of the game.

 did anyone else like the Cloutier book , winning holdem tournaments ( or something like that )

 i read it the night before a league final and took it down , it is a bit backdated ( 70's i think ) so their style of play has changed , it was very tight mostly in they days , but the basics and strategy in the book were 2nd to none i felt. ( no pun )
