When I hear someone telling a story about how he shrewdly laid down middle set after some intricate chain of reasoning convinced him he was beaten, my quick (but slient) reaction is "Idiot."

Classic!

Good news and good timing. I'm just finishing the last chapter of HoH Volume I now. That's next on my buy list.

[jojobinks]

space or anyone else:

do you feel like in HOHII he's backtracking some on continuation bets? he represents them much more as a bluff, whereas my impression (after multiple reads from HOH), that even against multiple opponents, it's more of an "i could very possibly still have the best hand here with an unimproved AK" type of situation.

i'm only on P.21! i've got to finish by the weekend so i can be the best player ever for the fishy homegame...

I'm not so sure it's backtracking so much as a different way of looking at it as they relate to bluffs. I guess this first chapter, Part Eight, was supposed to be part of Volume 1, so it seems to fit in that context too. Plus part of the first chapter is talking about defending against the continuation bets, so it's looking at them from the opposite side.

I thought in the first book he was mainly talking about continuation bets in relation to value betting, with the occational bluff thrown in to avoid predicability.

I think the real meat of the book will start wil Part Nine. I'm only on page 80.

Is this "Harrington on Hold'em Volume II"? If so I'm at Borders tomorrow. Vol. I is my fav strategy book.
