I think this is a nice observation. I just read SSHE again this weekend. I never realized how many examples are from you raising in the button in that book. I think that book is great and does a great job really getting one to notice specific concepts and understanding why one play is superior to the next, but it is a book and limited in size and scope.

I think that poker is so situational that without the forums I would be clueless in many situations that the book neglects. Like I said, to no fault of the others, the book would be endless. It would be impossible to demonstrate every situation from every chair. That's what the forums are for. The book alone is not enough to make someone a winning player. Practice and analysis make up for that.
