Can't wait. Harrington changed my life and I mean that.

It's just a shame everybody else gets to read it too...

How good is Harrington in cash games? I never even knew he was really good at cash. Thought he only really did tournaments.

Here's what Bob Ciaffone says in his book "Improve Your Poker" when discussing cash games and tournament play:

"It is rare to see a player who is excellent in both forms, such as 1986 World Champion Berry Johnston, 1987-88 World Champion Johnny Chan, or 1995 World Champion Daniel Harrington."

He was playing cash games long before he ever began playing tournaments.

As mentioned in Volume 1 of his tournament book, he also played both cash and tournament backgammon at the highest level before he switched to poker. He states that the differences needed in aggressiveness, between cash and tournaments, are similar in both games.

The rule of not ending a sentence with a preposition was invented by a 18th century English pedant who spent most of his time sitting over a desk and inventing "rules" for English writing. There is no logical reason why we can't end a sentence with a preposition, other than for reasons of eloquence, something not all the time necessary on 2p2.
