It's on my list. I've heard it's one of the best books out there.

I havent read this, but Ive heard mixed reviews
From what I've heard the first book which deals with flop and preflop play is fairly basic, and the 2nd which deals with turn and river play is more interesting. The main complaint I've heard is that it comes across too much as a 'game of cards played with people' type of analysis rather than a 'game of people played with cards' ones. In addition there were problems with some of the advice for meta game purposes (one example I remember hearing was Harrington generally liked to call with top pair rather than raise, but recommended raising with middle pair to represent top pair -- which is obviously an issue meta) Ive also heard plenty of good things though, and I havent read it myself personally so Im not sure. I do know his tournament books were among the best

I ordered these with FPP's and I barely looked over them because they were just so basic it seemed like a beginners book to me. I didn't read any of it in depth but it didn't seem like it had any information I didn't know. Plus what does he know about online cash games anyway? I would think the games he plays in versus the v aggressive online games are extremely different.
I think getting a cardrunners membership is 100x better for your money than buying these books. It is probably a great beginner book tho just not for advanced players at all.
