No love for Harrington

I'm not surprised. Most of the tournament hotshots ridicule his books and dismiss his play as "weak-tight". Just look at how obsolete, in the view of some, the whole concept of M has become.

Ha! They ridicule his books because they want to plug their own crap. In the WWE-culture that is big time tournament poker, guys like Harrington are overlooked and dismissed rather easily.

1st in the WSOP ME in 1995 -- 3rd in the WSOP ME in 2003 -- 4th in the WSOP ME in 2004 -- 2nd in the WPT Doyle Brunson WPT N. America Championship in 2005 -- and his 1st in LA.

Not included is a fairly steady list of cashes for a guy who focuses a great deal of his time on other business interests besides poker and does not play as much (or hog the camera with childish antics) as the flavors of the month the Internet seems to fawn all over.

Obsolete? I'm sure Dan hopes more like you will perpetuate this myth.
