Re: Is there any book that addresses the typical 1/2 NL game?
[ QUOTE ]
In particular, I am looking for a book that addresses games where:
1.) Blind stealing is largely pointless because the blinds are so small relative to the average raise and average pot; and
2.) Multiple opponents routinely call large preflop raises, so that the initial raiser is often playing out of position.
Any recommendations?

while PNL isn't about $1-$2 nl, it's the book you want. if you can't steal, you must plan all hands around commitment and get in when the getting is good. there's a long section in volume 1 that explains in detail how to plan a hand preflop around commitment. absorb it and you'll kick the living [censored] out of your game.
the good news is position doesn't matter nearly as much as it does in tougher games. the bad news is if large preflop raises are the norm and you cannot steal, you have to play tight preflop regardless of your position. that make it like a football scholarship job. you get paid very well to watch the grass grow. profitable, but excrutiatingly boring. i recommend bringing good beer.
on the other hand, if you can steal, it gets very interesting. a good hand reader can play a lot more hands and annihilate such a game.
