Yeah, it makes sense. Remember the people who wrote that book aren't particularly good NL players. It shows.

Why do you continue to insert statements like this into every thread regarding this book? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Because it's the key to understanding the book and getting some value out of it. Dave's theorizing about how he wishes NL were played if only they didn't keep reading him and taking all his money (back to midstakes LHE for him), and Ed's never had that problem because he's never even tried to roll with the big boys.
There's some useful information in the book, but it's no substitute for actual information from an actual NL player. Check out Doyle or Ciaffone for that. If DS & Ed wanted to be useful, they might explain WHY think think it's 60% likely their opponent will fold to a given bet, rather than assuming such a critical and hard to get piece of information and then showing us some arithmetic anyone who did well in 4th grade could set up and do on their own. Even they admit that [censored] has nothing to do with actually playing NL poker.
And yes, I've played NL successfully - at least if you would consider about 7BB/hour over most of a year at 25/50 PL and NL holdem to be successful.
