wow, could you be any more vague? basically, it says bet X pre-flop (often an unrealistically high size) and two post-flop bets and you can get smaller of your/opponent's stack mostly all-in, so opponent can't put you to a very tough decision. or have good-sized stack left at that point so that bluffing opponent will fear that you come over top of him...... that's the basic premise of this book.

Like binions, I'm honestly wondering if you read the book, or even if you read the book with a preconceived bias or blind eye. Because frankly, that's not even close to the "premise" of the book. (I'm ignoring the fact that you used the word "premise" incorrectly - what you described is a basic strategy, not a premise. And what you described is clearly not the "strategy" outlined in the book either. The book describes how SPR can be used as a tool to guide the planning and play of your hand, kind of like using pot odds or "M" as tools to guide your play in other situations.)
