3. In problem 8-8 the key is that we are up against a "perceptive" opponent. Harrington uses the word "perceptive" in this problem 3 times for emphasis. Typically I'd just do the standard raise here against any other type of player but under these circumstances I agree with Harrington.
4. In 8-20 it is crucial to note that our opponent has position on us after the flop and he is known to make continuation bets. Once the flop comes T43 the check raise is a good play. Obviously we're in trouble if our opponent has AT, KT or any T for that matter. The thing is our opponent was utg pre-flop and many players would not raise AT or KT over 4x the big blind when they have 8 players yet to act behind them.
I can't wait for Part 9 next week - Inflection Points...
