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.

Of course, I'm not in a position to question anything, but I'm quoting Maroon:

It's rare at $30/$60 and up online that I find opponents who only play 40% of their hands heads up, since most people know they should be playing double that. It's unusual to find people who reraise out of the big blind and then check 40% of the time (with their best and worst 20% of hands), as almost everyone who has worked their way up to those stakes knows they should be betting 100%, but they do exist and now I know why.
Some of the other sections in the book were pretty humorous too.

He obviously refers to pages 187-191. He didn't mention it, but that 40% best hands refers to when being in bb (sb is the button here), that is recommended to call or re-raise with (so supposedly sb/button has raised, because it's said re-raise but not raise). I understand Maroon recommends to play about 80% of the hands in this situation. Comments?
That another point, after pf re-raise from bb to check with 40% hands on the flop, he doesn't mention but it was for setting up a check-raise.
And if you always check-raise then and never check-fold, where's the disguise? Anyway, Maroon says that almost all players playing that high always raise on the flop in that situation - so no check-raising. Comments?
