I haven't read your book yet

I'll fill you in.

the title is "Professional NLHE". This implies a certain degree of sophistication

This has been a huge debate in the other thread. I think the conclusion was that it should not have been named this AND it is merely a primer for the upcoming volume 2, which is going to be more oriented towards stealing.

Are you saying it's in fact a beginner's book?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think the authors did concede in the other thread that it is indeed a beginner's book.

Why have we decided our line for the whole hand, in advance, and in complete disreguard of any information we might obtain later in the hand?

I'll quote from the book on this one.

The very first sentence in the book:

Plan your hand. If we had to summarize this book in three words, that would be it.

Then it says:

Plan Your Hand in a bold box.

The planning is almost all done preflop and on the flop, as we are building big pots preflop and then deciding if we want to stack off on the flop.
