I think of it as a companion to SSHE, which is focused more on a loose passive table. Carson's book is more interested in loose aggressive settings. I'd suggest reading both books with an open mind while actually thinking about poker.

It was actually written as a reply to HEFAP. But SSHE is largely HEFAP edited for loose-passive games. I read all 3.

Carson's book has its flaws. It doesn't seem to have much at all on turn and river play. I seem to recall that it has some laughable psychology, especially in the part concerning female players. But it also has its strong points. My favorite chapter in his book is the one on theories of poker.

That was the highlight of his book. The discussions on poker theory and game conditions were better then the "do this, do that" parts of the book.

In a way it's better for me that most people here don't read his book. They don't know his ideas exist and can't see where strategy should be changed.
