It's hard to know *exactly* what the book proposes since the text is confusing or wrong. For example, in one place it states the odds of making a flush by the river when starting with 2 suited cards is something like 20% (it is *far* lower than that). This implies playing suited cards would be very valuable. In another place it says AKs is not much of an advantage over AKo. And in yet another place it ranks KQs as a better hand than AKo.

The book seems to be saying that you should be playing big cards for top pair value, and then pricing players out of their drawing-type hands with "power" betting and raising. If you can't find a table where this strategy works well, then go home and try again another time.
