Re: Review of cover design
My internet was out so I actually read most of the book last night. I have to say some of the ideas are quite radical! Min-Reraising with AK, or limping QQ to get to target SPR's etc. This book certainly has the potential to really change how the mid-stakes no limit games are played. Of course, there will be a lot of people who shun any of the advice but it's going to be a huge mistake. I'm still thinking about the preflop raise varying vs. deception aspect, there are definitely many players who will punish you for this but how important it is, I'm not sure. The authors make very good arguments for why it's not as bad as you think it is.
The commitment threshold and SPR stuff really makes you think about the game, and in no way gives you cookie cutter actions for certain situations. I like how it's highly integrated with player reads, flow of game, etc.
