Is there still value in reading these?

 

They're obviously reknowned for being solid.  But they're close to 7-8 years old now.

 

Im starting 1 atm.  I guess its a solid foundation to work on?

Meh, I wouldn't waste your time reading those books. I would highly recommend “Winning Poker Tournaments One Hand at a Time” Volume I and II. They are phenomenal.

i guess any info is good info, but it is a bit outdated at this point I think.  i agree with tapping in to the Apestyles, Peraljammer, Rizen books.

I’d also add “Kill Everyone” for great J/F charts/theory and “Mental Game of Poker” for tilt issues…

What are your opinons on the book “The Raiser’s Edge”, been reading this one for awhile. About half way done. I also picked up “Kill Everyone” a few days ago but have yet to dig into it.

 

A lot of info to take in.

I have to disagree with you guys. I read Harrington's books four years back and I have to say, that you can find here the really basic important things about poker. The truth is, that you can easily beat lower limits only with these three books. Sure, sizing is diferent now, but everything else fits even now, in todays poker. Lot of people saying now that this is waste of time and they are saying that, because they already read it. In my opinion, this is still the best option for players, they are new to this game. 

Is there still value in reading these?

Yes, there is definitely a lot of value.

What are your opinons on the book “The Raiser's Edge”?

It really depends on your level. It is true, that this book is really for advanced and pro players. Lot of useful things for mid-high level. Not sure how this book can improve game in lower buy-ins. Also describe some diferences between online and live poker.

Thats a great point suk. You kinda have to find a book that is relevant to your skill level. HoH would be awesome for a beginner but not so much for someone playing mid stakes, where raisers edge sits. Similarly if micro stakes players try to play like the big dog after watching his vids, it is going to do more harm than good.
