I would also recommend the Harrington books for beginners looking to improve their tournament play. They are widely read, however, and the strategy is exploitable by someone who knows you're playing it. But it's still much better than your own strategy at the start. Edit: I would say, in my anecdotal experience, you don't encounter the same number of addicts in poker as you do in other games. You're more likely to see them at the roulette or blackjack table looking for a quick bet. The adrenaline moments in poker, tournaments especially, are quite widely spaced out.

>They are widely read, however, and the strategy is exploitable by someone who knows you're playing it. So true. I've had some great success exploiting people who play Omaha to the letter of one of the more popular books. >I would say, in my anecdotal experience, you don't encounter the same number of addicts in poker as you do in other games. My anecdotal experience says that the worst addicts "play" the stock market. I think it works well with your observation about adrenaline moments as every tick makes for one.
