What it’s about

Building on the foundational strategies laid out in the first two volumes of the acclaimed Harrington on Hold 'em series, this workbook provides the crucial next step for aspiring champions: practice. Through 50 meticulously detailed hand problems from live and online tournaments—some featuring poker legends like Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, and the author himself—you will be challenged to make critical decisions at every street. Each problem comes with a point-based scoring system and in-depth analysis to help you diagnose weaknesses, categorize your errors, and master the most difficult and feared part of the game: post-flop play. If you're tired of simply memorizing rules and want to develop the deep, situational thinking that separates the pros from the amateurs, this workbook is your essential training ground.

The through-line

Who it’s for
The reader is an aspiring no-limit hold 'em tournament player who has studied the basics but struggles to apply them in the heat of battle and consistently make profitable decisions, especially after the flop. They want to move beyond being an intermediate player and develop the skills to win tournaments.
The problem
The reader makes costly mistakes in complex post-flop situations, leading to busted tournament entries and frustration. They feel intimidated, confused, and uncertain after the flop, often resorting to overly simplistic or purely mechanical strategies (like 'all-in or fold') out of a 'fear of flopping.'
The plan

  3. Compare your choices with the expert analysis and scoring provided for each problem.
  4. Total your score and use the 'Categorizing Your Errors' section to identify and target your specific weaknesses.
The payoff
The reader develops confidence and clarity in post-flop situations. · They learn to read opponents, control pot size, and make profitable decisions under pressure. · They move from being a break-even or losing player to a consistent winner in no-limit hold 'em tournaments.
