The best way to learn Poker.....
A very, very good book and unique (I think) in it's approach to teaching the reader. I have read both of the previous books in the trilogy and referred back to them on many occasions. They are practically my "Poker Bible", if you will.

The beauty of the book is that you learn from your own mistakes rather than just reading the correct plays and thinking that you would have come to the same decision too.

It will take around 7-10 hours of solid concentration and thinking to complete the 50 problems fully and accurately and you grade your answers at the end of each problem.

I would definitely recommend this poker to any NLHE tournament player.

As a teacher I photocopied the answers pages at the back so that I can easily return to the book in future rather than have the answers written in the book already.

Good stuff
The format and layout is similar to the example problems given in Volumes I and II. This time, however, there is a marking scheme to allow you to assess your play. Refreshingly, examples are taken from both online and live play, and from both big and small buy-in events. Understand though, that this is tournment hold'em only. What we need now is a book this good on cash games!

quite interesting
The format of this book is unique, giving examples of major hands in major tournaments and running through the probable thought processes of top professinoals.

The full house which Harman lost with in the WSOP being one of the most memorable.

A nice read, which will imrove intermediate level players games.

The only thing I didn't like about it was that Harrington seems to think there is a right way to play each hand, it's a bit too prescriptive, whereas in my opinion poker is art as well as science, and players need to develop their own game.

You wouldn't tell Wayne Rooney to play football like Thiery Henry, or vice versa...
