Poker has taken America by storm. But it's not just any form of poker that has people across the country so excited -- it's no-limit hold 'em -- the main event game. And now -- thanks to televised tournaments -- tens of thousands of new players are eager to claim their share of poker glory.
In the first volume of this series, Harrington on Hold 'em: Volume I: Strategic Play, Dan Harrington explained how to play in the early phases of tournaments, when most players at the table had plenty of chips, and the blinds and antes were small. This book, Harrington on Hold 'em: Volume II: The Endgame shows you how to play in the later phases of a tournament, when the field has been cut down, the blinds and antes are growing, and the big prize money is within sight. Harrington shows you how to make moves, handle tricky inflection point plays, and maneuver when the tournament is down to its last few players and the end is in sight. He's also included a whole chapter on heads-up play, whose strategies up to now have been a closely-guarded secret of the game's top masters.

Harrington and Robertie have done something that, to my knowledge, no other poker author has yet done. They have created a definitive poker reference book while also providing a well-written guide to actual play that is accessible to players with only a moderate amount of previous poker experience and knowledge. This volume completes that masterpiece.(pokerplayermagazine.com)
This is a must have book for more than just the obvious reasons of it containing excellent strategic information and being well written and explained. Harrington's books have proved so popular that even if you don't agree with his ideas or don't learn as much as you think, at least you will have an understanding of how pretty much everyone else is thinking and playing!(pokernews.com)
