Very few people are involved in poker and do not know Dan Harrington. He is one of the most consistent professional players with numerous successes in major tournaments, including a WSOP Main Event win in 1995 and two consecutive final tables in the Main Events of 2003 and 2004. His total tournament winnings exceed $6.5 million, a figure that very few players in the world can boast about reaching!

In short, he is one of the most qualified individuals to talk about the right strategy in a poker tournament. In addition to Harrington, the book is co-authored by Bill Robertie, one of the most successful backgammon players with significant achievements in chess as well as in poker. Robertie also has experience in writing books, having authored several successful strategy books for both chess and backgammon.

The book series “Harrington on Hold’em” is considered by many to be the ultimate tournament strategy book and is recommended for both beginners and more advanced players. Many have learned to play poker by reading Harrington's trilogy. The first book focuses on the basics such as choosing starting hands, pre-flop play, and post-flop play.

Specifically, this book by Harrington is divided into seven parts, each concentrating on a different aspect of the game:

1. Introduction, initial thoughts in a hand.
2. Playing styles, how to play each style (aggressive, tight, conservative).
3. Reading the table, body language, and betting tactics.
4. Pot odds and hand analysis.
5. Pre-flop betting, guidelines and tips.
6. Post-flop betting, analysis of various flops.
7. Playing on the turn and the river.
