5.0 out of 5 stars Very good cash game book, 1 May 2008
By P. Iddon "cash guru" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Harrington's tourney books are probably the best books on the market for no limit hold em tourney's.
I was a little sceptical though whether Harrington would be able to write a book just as good for cash games.
I didn't need to worry, he explains the difference of why hands like top pair top kicker are great in tourney's but are very average in cash games.
Also the chapter on small hands small pots was very good at explaining that even pocket aces on a flop can be a small hand.
The explanation that the difference between hands like 67 suited and poket aces comes down in deep stack poker was very good.
Basically if you're a new player or a player moving from tourney's to cash, this is a must read.
I've been playing cash and tourneys on-line now for 5 yrs and still found it very useful even if only to confirm what I thought was the case.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply The Best On Offer, 10 Aug 2008
By Malcolm Clarke (Durham, UK) - See all my reviews
This book brings Dan Harringtons excellent teaching style straight to the novice Cash game player for No Limit Texas Holdem.

The book demands that the reader has some knowledge of Poker, this is not an ABC guide of Poker from "how to play in position" the reader should have a basic grounding of strategy before embarking on unravelling this book.

The book mostly deals with pre-flop and post-flop play and whilst the turn and river are covered, Harrington leaves the in depth discussion of fourth and fifth street to the second book (Harrington on Cash Games 2 - Blue Book) which focuses more on the turn and river play and strategies.

What I enjoyed about this book is that I picked it up with little if any knowledge of cash games but finished the book fairly confident I could mix it with even a reasonable cash game player. Especially at the lower limits, you will be much better equipt for having read this book than not. Players at the lower levels are generally straight forward and understanding the virtues of the books principles will stand you in good stead.

The way that you approach cash games is different to tournaments, and Harrington really drills down on what the main differences are - especially when it comes to dealing with pocket pairs, position, and hole cards in relation to the size of your stack. The size of your stack of chips makes a lot of difference to how you play the hand. Harrington uses clever analogies to demonstrate the differences between what hands you play compared to what you might do in tournaments where blinds are high and you must act decisively with strong pre-flop hands. This is possibly the hardest thing for a cash game newbie to grasp. You really can, with good intentions, play 10 8 offsuit (in position) in order to gain the opportunity to win your opponents entire stack, whilst in a tournament that would be stretching the "mix it up" deception plays to the maximum.

Check this book out on amazon.co.uk by following the link. It is not cheap, but worth consideration if you are seriously wanting to understand the principles of cash game play.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cash Action Dan, 28 April 2008
By K. Baldwin - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Action Dan, whose Tournament books, are rated as amongst the best has gone and done it again but this time for Cash NL Holdem. His Tournament books quickly gave beginners some real skills needed to start winning and more advanced tactics that cost a lot of people time and money to find out.

The book is set out the same and you will find not only more stats to help you but some gems that I hoped he would not be revealed ;) Perhaps some of the best quick advice is especially good for MTT players and thats how to play TPTK in a cash game scenerio. Revealing the reasons why you surprisingly see hands like this checked down or little action.

Cash Action Dan reveals some of the real secrets to Cash games and, if you believe what he says about his prefered bet frequency regarding high starting hands on the flop, now needs to be called Cash Action Dan.

He is a few £million times better than me and i like to bet at the flop if i am the aggressor but are his suggested continuation type bet rates a little high for some of the hands?

Its another must read by Dan the Action Man and buy both books as you will want to carry on reading the 2nd one straight away. Do I get a % commission sale for saying that?
