Default Re: Some top players dislike NLHTAP: Why?

[ QUOTE ]
Many of the concepts are common sense, but then they are twisted on their heads and analyzed to death. Many of these conclusions are not correct in many situations.

The most glaring, obvious one being to shove all in on the river with the nuts.

Can you remember more examples? Why is it so bad to shove with the nuts on the river?

I didn't find a use for it, as I have developed a style that would be broken if I was to take many of the suggestions. I think that many of the higher limit players, and 2+2r's don't like if for this reason.

Is this because the players are conservative or can you give some examples of how the book suggest something that seems awkward to incorporate into their game?

If a new player was to use this book, his strategy would be highly exploitable. Although many basics are correct, the player would need a ton of coaching. The most exploitable being the "balancing" concepts, as they open you up to making many more decisions than you would have to make if you were playing more straightforward.

Can you come with some examples of if a new players plays according to the concepts of the books, how he is exploitable?
