And what is written on page 88 may be the most ludicrous piece of strategical advice I've ever seen in print. The author advices both checking and then throwing away throwing away top set to a normal bet because an opponent may have a straight on an AJTo board (by normal bet I mean not some crazy all in reraise and even then throwing it away then is still questionable because your opponent may have one of the other sets or two pair). It's for info like that found in books that a player must really be reading "actively" and questioning advice (not just be a drone taking all advice as fact).

This was the example I was thinking of above. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that was unusual. I will say, however, that I like the fact that each example tends to set forth the questions that beginners should be thinking about when playing a hand - i.e., what do we know about the players, etc. I still think it's worthy of a read for most readers on this part of 2+2's forum, based on what I've seen of the posts that have been made here.
