The whole book rotates around one single concept, SPR. It gives reader the view that everything is about SPR and nothing more. It gives a stupid simplistic view of poker. Just as long as you get your SPR right everything will be fine. SPR SPR SPR yada yada yada.

Don't forget there are well written sections on basics, fundamentals and REM too. SPR is a big part of this book, but it's only the first volume and there will be more with SPR as a basis, as I understand.

I am not going to start raising to 7bb with KK or limp-reraising AQ from UTG just to get my SPR "correct". I will continue to open raise the standard amount 95% of situations. Why do all the cardrunners pros open raise standard amounts (barring exceptional situations such as against shortstacks) in their videos? Is sbrugby a donkey cause he does not play like this book teaches.

He probably does play a lot like the book teaches. Using fized raise sizes preflop does not mean one's not thinking about stack to pot ratio's and their implications on post flop play.

Reading this book makes me so damn mad I feel like TUFF_FISH on bad tilt when reading it. It's like misinformation designed to make me play bad. I guess I am going to burn my copy, I hate it that much.
