It sounds like you are saying that you believe that making a small 3-bet doesn't offer an SPR that is low enough for you to get AI profitably.

LOL.

There is more to this game than SPR. Even Matt and Sunny have said there is a lot more they wish they could have put into volume 1 that they are putting into volume 2.

Even you yourself said:

Just because you hit your target SPR doesn't mean you 100% commit.

even though the authors made it pretty clear that they are committing on any non-ace flop.

Things to think about outside of SPR:

[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] What information have we gained about our opponents' holdings at this point?
[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] What information have our opponents gained about our holdings?
[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] As the hand has been played, if we stack off on the flop will it be profitable for us?
[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Have we played the hand in a way that is unprofitable for our opponents?

In this example we didn't make the button's play unprofitable. A lot of the time we limp in EP we are going to have a hand that we have to fold to a raise. As a matter of fact, in a later example in this section we limp with AJs in EP and then fold to a raise. Our reraise is so small it makes a call with a pair profitable for our opponent.

If all of our opponents' actions on the hand are profitable, then how are we making money on this hand?
