However when reading the book I feel like I am being conveyed the message "all you have to do is to make sure to have correct SPR, then flop TP or overpair and bet pot until you are all-in".

If this is what you got out of it you missed a lot of information and also probably have a reading comprehension issue.

I know it must be frustrating to Matt and Sunny to hear this sort of thing. Frankly I just don't understand it. I didn't get any such thing out of the book. I'm a little confused as to why there is so much of this kind of criticism. Enough people have said it, that there must have been something the authors could have done, in hindsight. And I know they have some ideas for improving it in Vol 2. But I certainly didn't have any such problem with the book. I suppose I chalk it up to preconceived notions, and trying to get something out of the book that isn't there.

This is basically a new way of thinking and looking at your NL cash hands. Even if some players already play this way intuitively, it's still the first time it's ever been in print. Isn't this enough to ask from a poker book?
