I think the advice in the book is not very suitable for the 1/2 online 8tabler. But I stil think it's a lot of the advice is valid.

I have implemented different preflop raise sizes into my game and so far I can say with confidence that it's better than having a standard open amount.

I guess an example helps here, when a donkey is in the BB and I'm OTB I will often raise 3BB with weaker hands and 4BB with stronger hands. The preflop minraise has also found a place in my game, usually with small pairs in early positon when there are many fishies at the table.

What I also noticed is taht balancing is not as important as you might think. I know it's hard to quantify, but the difference in exploit-ability between overpotting only 1/3 of all sets vs overpotting 1/4 of all sets and 1/6 of all flush draws is really really small.
