I'm a very recreational player, but I enjoy reading and thinking about poker. I'm 3/4 through the book and my impression so far is that the authors have packaged up concepts that are known to and practised by anyone who actually thinks about the game. In contrast to tighty, I was struck by the number of situations cited in which the book recommended abandoning the plan. Not because I think flexibility is unimportant, but I just wonder whether you can really refer to a commitment threshold and in the same breath talk about backing away from committing.

I am also amused that in this thread the authors are critical of short stackers when their theory is designed to accomplish the same goal, i.e. shift the balance to pre-flop and flop decisions.
