HOH Vol 3

[Zybomb]

I've finally gotten into this book... so far I am about 1/2 way done.

I think his first two books were fantastic, the head of the class in Hold Em Strategy books -- but this book is ... I dunno...

I don't really agree with a lot of the advice he gives here, and he interprets some situations very strangely (and results oriented) One situation which comes to mind ....

We had raised preflop with J T from 5th position to $12,000. We received 1 call from behind us and 1 call from the BB.

The flop came A 5 5 . BB checked, option to us. Harrington awarded no points for betting and full credit for checking. Third player checks.

The turn came 8 . BB bet 18,000 (1/2 pot), we received no points for folding, and full credit for calling. Third player folds

River comes Rag and BB checks. We received full credit for checking and no credit for betting because "The BB had shown real strength in the hand" (real strength by checking the flop, betting 1/2 the pot on the turn and checking the river?) BB had 65 and scooped. Now Im not saying this is a good spot to bet here...all Im saying is that the BB did not by any means show "real strength" in this hand

Other advice seemed odd and calling station like (Raising preflop with Ace Ten and check calling 3 streets when an ace flops)

Raising preflop with AT, having a rag flop and not CBing the flop when checked to, or betting the turn when checked to.

There are several more examples as well.

Im still yet to finish it, but I find I'm disagree with Harrington on a lot of hands here --- anyone else have any opinions?
