Largay's book is awful.

I bought Largay's book and it has some absurdly awful information in it such as buying in for $100 in a 1-2 NL game and going all in with 82s preflop on the first hand against multiple opponents (I am not joking).

You're being obtuse. No, the book does not recommend making that play. It uses that play as an example to explain several NL concepts. Big difference, and one that was lost on you.

The book is generally good. Dominate has some good points to it, but ultimately it has misleading or wrong information in it to (it ranges from getting probabilities wrong to bizarre advice like going home rather than playing in loose passive games.) Dominate might or might not be to your liking. It certainly is an entertaining read and has plenty of good nuggets in it.

Largay in general is more concise and maybe ultimately more helpful. In fact it lays out some of the strategy that Professional No Limit does, albeit with less rigorous theory.
