I there is a lot of value in the book in both the strategy and non-strategy sections but you have to find it yourself. Some of the play examples really have me thinking. I am having trouble understanding a few of them which is a good thing.

I think the main problem with the book is that it doesn't really know who its audience is. Is it the general reader? high-stakes players? beginning players? recreational players?

If the audience is high-stakes players then why include very basic information about who to tip in the casino and the definition of a railbird? If it is beginning players, why include hand examples where you are playing against someone who is capable of folding jacks-up to a raise on the river?

What makes SSH and HPFAP such usefull books is they they know who their audience is. I know that Barry Greenstein had family members involved in the editing of the book, but I think it would have come out better if another editor was involved.
