Harrington on Cash Games Vol. 1
In Harrington on Cash Games: Volume I, Dan Harrington teaches you the key concepts that drive deep-stack cash game play. You’ll learn how to tailor your selection of starting hands to your stack size, how to recognize the increasing deception value of supposedly “weaker” hands as the stack sizes increase, and how to use the concept of pot commitment to your advantage as the size of the pot grows. After laying out the general concepts behind deep-stack cash game play, Harrington shows you a complete strategy for post-flop play, and then teaches you the difference between post-flop play against a single opponent and post-flop play against multiple opponents. If you play no-limit hold ’em cash games, you need to read this book.
