Harrington On Cash Games I & II

The Tourist · 2008-06-26 11:56:11

Can anyone recommend/review these? I loved the tourney ones a few years ago, they got me started thinking about poker, but now they seem a bit conservative and, well, dull. Maybe I just play bad now! Also, any good PLO books out recently?

The cash game ones are apparently just as dull. They're suitable for a live player, online FR player or a beginning 6max player.

Pot-Limit Omaha Poker - the Big Play Strategy by Jeff Hwang is supposed to be pretty good.

I bought them when they first came out, but I never got through much of it, it seemed decent enough from the small bits I read, but I didn't read very much of them.

From what I've read, I'll pass on Harrington and get the Jeff Hwang book instead.

Thanks.

Just beginning book two of Harrington on Cash Games and I think so far they have been excellent. If nobody reads them though that fine with me.
