… I pre-ordered the Harrington on Cash Games Vols I and II yesterday. My poker library is fairly extensive, but I’m really looking forward to these ones. Harrington’s Tourney Editions were my first real reads – I had Theory of Poker, but when I got that I just wasn’t ready for that level of detail 
I think Dan Harrington manages to convey the game in plain English better than anyone else around. Apart from the fact that they should be good reading – its going to be essential to read these as every other half serious player will be as well. I need to know what they will know.
In other news I am trying a lot harder to incorporate Pokerstove analysis into my post session review. It’s a great tool, but I think I am not so good at putting villians accruately on ranges yet. That’s a critical part of it of course – if the range analysis is skewed then the analysis isn’t real flash. Would be interested to hear if any other readers use this approach regularly and how they go about it.
Talking about readers it seems people are starting to drop by here more and more regularly now. Hope you are enjoying it … feel free to stop by the HPC Forum and join up if you are keen, its a much better place to chat than just the comments field here.

I still haven’t finished my HOH 1, I keep putting it on the back burner, as I’ve changed my focus a lot. Now I’m griding the cash games I’ve sunk my teeth into Theory and Practice by Sklansky, so probably won’t get back to it for awhile, it is a great book though.
I’m really keen to get hold of the cash series as well. Hope you’ll let us all know what you think of them when they arrive.
I feel the same way about putting villains on ranges, its a must improve for me, as especially in the cash games I’m feeling that I should be getting more value on occasions and punishing draws more on others.
Keep up the good work xxx
