This hasn't been as successful as I had hoped, but I've enjoyed re-reading the Harrington books and I've learned a lot. Thanks Eric for staying with me. This is it for me, but I REALLY hope someone will take on No Limit Hold Em Theory & Practice... whatever happened to that idea, Fnord? And if anyone picks any book, I'll participate. A few last questions on Part 13:
1. How is end-of-tourney strategy different in multi-qualifier satellite events?
2. If you're in doubt as to whether a deal offered you at a final table is a fair one, what should you do?
3. How big are Daniel Negreanu's balls? |

zook, I really enjoyed discussing HOH2 with you.
1. Obviously in multi-qualifiers you are more in a "survival" type of mode when it gets near the end.
2. In general I don't like chopping even if the deal is fair so I definitely say "no thanks" if I'm in doubt about whether a deal is a fair one.
3. Daniel Negreanu is a freakishly ballsy player. |

| Wow, this book club sounds really cool. I'm all about reading books, but can't find motivation to do it. This would definitely give me the motivation. Thing is I have never heard of this before. Try doing some more advertising for this, and maybe we can try this again? |

| We'll be trying it again in a couple of weeks DonkDonk, with NLHE T&P. If you'd rather discuss the Harrington on Hold 'em series, feel free to post in the old discussion threads. I'd be happy to keep discussing them and I imagine Eric would be as well. |

That's true, the HOH books are classics and I enjoy going back and discussing them repeatedly. |

| Sounds good! I'll be picking up my copy of the book soon. How many weeks do you think it will take to cover the entire book? |

| I read each Harrington book in a couple of days... depends how much free time you have. I've re-read them twice each though and still refer to them if I feel the urge to play a MTT. |

It also depends on how you read them (skimming vs re-reading portions that are complex). I like to go back and re-read the problems several times until I understand every detail. Each book took me a few weeks. I still go back and quiz myself on the problems from time to time. |
