Default Cards by Maxwell isn\'t very good

Maxwell's idea of how pros think about poker is totally bizarre. I'm only 70 pages in, so maybe this is part of the character development, but already I've read the following silliness:

AA isn't a very good hand in 3/6 games

You can play any hand preflop if you know how to play it after the flop

15/30 games are easier to beat because the players play more correctly

Here are some strange plays:

Folding a set for one bet on a 4 straight board heads up in a large pot w/o any mention of a read.

Not raising for value on the flop in a multiway pot with the nutflush draw on a non paired board.

There's stuff a lot worse than this. Its really annoying to read because the majority of the book is hand narration.

There are a lot of typos in this book, and its not that well written either.

Why am I only 70 pages in? Because I can't stand to read any more. For those of you who liked it: does it get better?
