Some of the other sections in the book were pretty humorous too. Matt mentioned the loose games section. It contains such advice as not raising AQ when you know a lot of players are going to come in behind you. Brilliant. That is followed by one priceless gem after another.

I believe this reference is to pages 175 and 176. The explanation for why we advise just calling with AQ in early position when "you are in a game where your raise will fail to cut down the field" is pretty straight forward.

Authors like these are always trying to show everyone that they are the ones who understand that we have it wrong. This gives them instant recognition and will fuel their effort to achieve success.

But they generally never get specific as to why our advice is inaccurate and they generally never address the specifics of what we wrote. If you want to do that, I suggest you read the pages I just mentioned along with the whole section and then ask your questions.

Best wishes,
Mason
