HOH series is the most overrated

[/ QUOTE ]

I haven't read the second or third HOH books, and I suspect the second in particular is very useful (it introduced M's and inflection points into the discussion, didn't it?), but I thought the first was pretty terrible. Not that it presented unsound advice, but it was so rigid in its presentation. It felt to me like a list of what to do in this situation and that situation, rather than a useful guide to thinking about tournament poker situations in general.

Anyway, I know that's not a sentiment likely to find much support on here, but I was very surprised when I finally got around to reading HOH the extent to which it failed, in my mind, to live up to its reputation.
