It's bloody good.

If you're looking to:

• Improve your NLHE tournament game
• Learn how to play LAG
• Learn how to play against LAGs

then buy this book.

What's harrington on cash like? Any good or just like any other poker book out there.

Harrington on cash has 2 parts (vol 1 and vol 2)

Vol 1, half of it is beginner stuff. The other half, basically, it tells you to mix up your play so that "every flop can hit you" and "add deception to your game". And he has hand analysis like in the tournament books.

For example : 9 handed, you are 3rd to act you hold QQ. Folded to you. What do you do ?
Then he goes, in this spot, you should raise 80% of times, limp 20% yadda yadda explination. One thing that bugs me is that he says to randomize properly, you need to look at your watch and if the seconds are <= 48 you raise and > 48 you limp so you have a true random system instead of using your head. I get his idea but you won't look at your watch all the freaking time... anyways.

First part is preflop and flop play with various hands. Vol 2, it's turn play and river play with analysis. It also has "more advanced concepts" like good spots to make a squeeze play, double barrel bets, delayed bluff (how to counter a player that cbets too often), leverage bet concet, and so on. It's much much better than vol 1.

So Vol 1 = 7 / 10
Vol 2 = 8.5 / 10

The thing is, vol 2 is the sequel of vol 1 so it's kinda weird to get and read only vol 2.

I've never agreed with his randomizing pre-flop raise sizes idea.

Opponent dependent. He advocates raising/limping hands at random times according to preset percentages so that his opponents can't put him on TT+ when he raises and <99 when he limps etc.
