The book feels like it started out as a pure theory book, but then Sklansky either ran out of things to say, or lost faith in that approach, and the compromise is a bunch of random concepts in practice tagged on at the end. This ends up pleasing neither those who want a pure theory book, nor those who want more help making +EV decisions in practice, since both sections fall short.

And it's annoying there is so much left unsaid even from the perspective of pure nl theory. I'd love to hear DS on for instance the theoretical trade-off between planning hands hands around commitment versus stealing, but the lack of any meaningful SPR discussion just suggests he didn't really play much (or enough) NL before writing the book.
