you're not committed to anything when you know you're beat. if a guy raises you twice consecutively when you have tp3k, you're beat. its an important concept, but if a hand unfolds in such a way that you have a really good idea of what your opponent has, you can bend the rules quite a lot when it comes to committment.

This is effectively the same as saying "do as you feel like, when the book agrees with you, use it as a rationale, when it doesn't, just say it does not apply to this case". Which is the same as that the book is worthless.

I mean the concepts are either correct or they are not.

I know I've personally had a hard time digesting the teachings of PNL1 and I am not sure if I fully agree with it or not.
