It doesn't say anywhere in the book that he posts, and most live games don't require you to post when you first join the table, only if you've sat out and missed the blinds. I'm pretty sure in this hand he voluntarily puts in two bets preflop.

I disagree with the book not because it doesn't agree fit with my dogmatic view of poker, but because it's poorly written, boring, and repetitive.

Also, if you have changed your game based on this book, I'm sorry. I can't comment very authoritatively on the NL&PL play, but the limit play sucks, big time. The author was pretty obviously a typical crappy B&M player and most of the plays he describe are tilty and awful.

Judging from your continued enthusiasm and overall lack of poker strategy posts, I am starting to think you might be this book's author.
