I haven't opened Largay's book yet, but what do you think it has to offer that PNL doesn't?

Just a slightly different approach. Hard to explain what I mean, more of a flowing thought process, as opposed to a more formal presentation of new ideas like in PNL.

Actually, I think Largay and Flynn/Mehta probably approach the game in much the same way. Of course Largay doesn't mention SPR. But while F/M talk in terms of planning and commitment or lack of it, Largay talks in terms of the possibility of going broke, and who's more likely to do that in this hand - you or your opponent. He doesn't mention planning explicitly, but it's probably implied. He gives some hand examples that I think would fit exactly with F/M's ideas. I keep meaning to collect a few of Largay's hand examples and ask F/M if they agree with his approach. My feeling is they do.

Largay also has some interesting ideas that seem to fit with awkward SPRs, such as limping with AK, AA, KK (although he might not know explicitly that he's going for low or high SPRs - not medium - he still seems to understand the same thing sort of intuitively.)

So that's kind of the difference - F/M give you some solid numbers to help you think through, Largay gives you more "feel".
