We're starting off Vol. 2 Part 8, Making Moves, this week. It would be really cool if people start posting hand histories demonstrating strategies Harrington describes, like the moves in this chapter. I've started playing MTTs again, so I'll post some when I come across them, but I'm sure there are veterans out there with hundreds of examples to draw from.

Some questions for this chapter:

1. Harrington thinks that bluffs are usually most effective against medium-stacked opponents. Do you agree? Can you think of specific situations when this isn't true?

2. Do you agree that your c-bet size should average ~1/2 pot?

3. On p. 10 Harrington states that when last to act on the flop, checking behind your opponent with a strong draw is a better play than c-betting. Do you agree?

4. On p. 15-19 Harrington discusses defending against c-bets. What's your general strategy? How does it change with relative position?

5. Do you check/raise often? In what situations?

Feel free to answer whichever of these you want and add some of your own.
