You know what? I'm in this set of people who aren't that he describes, at least some of the time about some of the games. It's really important for me to read advice that I know I can take to the bank. Wrong headed ideas are expensive and honestly this statement about Q7 and game theory can be expensive. Especially to some who plays NL Hold'em SNGs IMO. I've been taking David's advice to the bank for decades. When I read a book from 2+2 I know I can rely on it's accuracy. Not so for other books from other publishers. DS has explained how a few pieces of bad advice can be expensive many times over the years.

JMHO, but with anything, yet alone something with as much "grey area" as poker, I don't think we should read a book trusting that its content is true. I think knowledge comes from reading/hearing/seeing different viewpoints and analyzing them ourselves rather than simply trusting them. The only book that I've ever believed without questioning it would be The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles by Julie Edwards.
