I read a recent article about how tourney play has gotten better since Harrington on Hold'Em was released. Anyone seeing this on-line? (If so, tell us where so we can avoid it!!).
It's the curse of having new books, etc. hit the market - you get this great information, but unfortunately so does everyone else.
Quote:
In a recent smaller tournament, a female poker player unknown to Harrington pulled off a masterful bluff to beat him out of a big pot.
"I thought she could not possibly be bluffing in that spot, and it turned out she was," Harrington said. "After it was over, she told me, 'I won that pot because I read your book.'
"What could I say? 'Oh, thanks a lot!' "

I haven't noticed a great increase in tourney player quality on-line. It's not too surprising, since I think the vast majority of players are more casual, and therefore would balk at the idea of spending $50 for Harrington's books, and then spending the time to actually read them. Lately I've been playing a lot of tournaments over at
Full Tilt, and most of the play there is just horrible. I would imagine things are a little more intense over at
Stars, where there is a lot of quality tourney play going on.
