harrington talks about tournament speed in his books too...
I know it is an old issue, but harrington does not deny the fact that speed is a factor in decisions. In hoh vol 1, he has MANY examples where he says that in a wsop type tournament you can do this with X hand. but at these stakes with the blinds rising so fast, you have to adjust your play, and play X hand much more aggresively. " time is not a luxury" is one line that sticks out in my head.
all in all i dont see why there has been such a hard line drawn between the snyder camp and the harrington camp. after reading hoh 1 after reading ptf , i see that harrington has a nice balance of adjusting your play to structure, and snyder goes over board with it.
has anyone else noticed this theme in harringtons books, or is it just me?
