well... deliberate misinformation might be a bit of a stretch, but I think its at least a possibility. I mean have you actually read that book. I've never played with TJ, but I know he's done very well, and is supposed to be a very good, and tough player. His book is pathetic. I think its at least possible that he wrote about playing in a style that he would most like his opponents to play.

As I said though, it very well could be a stretch, but I at least think its not impossible. Consider if you were TJ, and you thought your book would sell well, and you didn't care at all how good the book was. WHy not write it and instruct people to play in a horribly weak/tight fashion that is increadibly easy to exploit. I'll bet very often TJ is at a table with some amatuer who says he's read, and loves his book. TJ already made some $$ from selling that player the book, and he'll make way more from them when he plays against them, since they're going to fold anytime he makes a strong play at any pot and they don't have the nuts.
