Master Late-Stage Play with Harrington on Hold’em – The Endgame
The deeper you go in a poker tournament, the more complex and high-pressure the decisions become. Blinds rise, stacks shrink, and one misstep can cost you your tournament life—or a massive payday. That’s precisely where Harrington on Hold’em: Volume II – The Endgame steps in. Co-authored by World Series of Poker Champion Dan Harrington and expert strategist Bill Robertie, this second volume picks up where Strategic Play left off, focusing on the critical late stages of tournament poker.
This book will become your go-to tournament guide if you want to survive the bubble, thrive in short-handed play, and dominate final tables.
💣 Surviving the Bubble with Confidence
As tournament stakes grow and the money approaches, most players tighten up—sometimes too much. The Endgame begins with detailed strategies for navigating the bubble, helping you identify when to pressure tight opponents or protect your stack. Harrington teaches you how to balance survival and aggression, turning the fear of busting into an opportunity for chip accumulation and control.
⚔️ Short-Handed and Final Table Domination
Late-stage tournament play means fewer players at the table—and more complexity. This book dives deep into short-handed play, where blind stealing, positional awareness, and range expansion become crucial. Harrington explains how to adjust your game when six, five, or even just three players remain. You’ll learn how to widen your range, exploit weaker players, and take control of the table when every chip counts.
🔄 Advanced Concepts: ICM and Risk vs. Reward
One of the standout features of The Endgame is its breakdown of the Independent Chip Model (ICM). This often misunderstood concept becomes critical during final-table decisions and payout jumps. Harrington shows how ICM impacts decision-making and teaches you how to avoid mistakes that look profitable in chips but lose money in real value. Understanding ICM gives you a competitive edge few players fully grasp.
🧠 Practice Makes Perfect: In-Depth Hand Analysis
Like its predecessor, this volume includes dozens of real hand examples, complete with commentary and decision-point analysis. Harrington doesn’t just tell you what to do—he walks you through the thought process behind each move. These practice scenarios allow you to refine your skills and build decision-making confidence in endgame spots that leave many players guessing.
🏆 Why This Book Is a Final Table Essential
If you’ve mastered the early game, it’s time to level up. Harrington on Hold’em – Volume II: The Endgame delivers the tools you need to not just cash—but win.
