I am a student of this school of thought as well.

It took me a year to unlearn a lot of the crap I learned in the HoH series. They are great for turning a beginner into a marginally losing player, but sngs/tournies are full of people treating HoH like the bible and handing the good players chip after chip after chip after.. you get the idea. For tournies I think Poker Tournament Formula is the best thing out there.

I have read all of the HOH books. Excellent books I must say but definitely not intended for ring games. That is why Harrington came out with HoCG (Harrington on Cash Games) which I just picked up yesterday. I'm only on the 2nd chapter but it seems great so far. The style is set up the same as his tourny books. He goes over a concept then gives a few real life examples. If you are thinking of getting this book I recommend you read the HOH series first because many of his ideas are based off that series. He compares it to HOH and then shows you how his cash game differs. Harrington is a great player and I think ALL of his books are a must read.
