One other thing, I always have to laugh when I read an excerpt from an advanced hold 'em text and people make comments like; "Gee what's so special about that?" or "That's nothing revolutionary is that it?" and so on.

You are missing the point. The situation was described as something like you were betting all the way and then you get raised. If it is a loose player and there are many draws out there, chances are your hand is good and if it is a tight passive player raising you, it's time to fold. I don't recall the complete passage, but it was about as trivial as that.

Now if you don't know such basic stuff already, what the hell are you doing in a "tough" game? You should be sitting at playmoney tables instead.

That's why I was disappointed with the excerpt. Maybe it's my own fault, because I hope that every new poker book turns out to be similar to Nesmith Ankeny's brilliant work on 5 card draw. So far nothing was even remotely close to that.
