This is somewhat of a hijack. I was reminded because someone mentioned Harrington on Hold'em.

These were wonderful books and were, I felt, the best poker literature I have read yet for NLHE (way above and beyond Super System 2, Championship HE, Phil Gordon's books, Phil Hellmuth's books, Sklansky's books).

However, ironically, as HOH are tourny holdem books, my tourney results have taken a nosedive since I have read them and my ring game results have skyrocketed.

I don't really understand why. Any theories?
