Default SSHE Flop Concepts Application to NL?

Obviously SSHE is a Limit book but as I am reading it through a second time I am wondering how much, if not all, of the Flop hand strength section (both "made hands" and "draws") applies to NL. "Theory and Practice" assumes you have this foundation already so it's not discussed at all.

Have any NL players read SSHE that could comment? I would guess that the top pair and overcard hands are probably over-valued then would be the case in NL, but I'm not sure?

Well that's the trick you see - they have value until someone says your hand is no good! TPTK and overpair hands are the classic "lets get stacked" hands when playing NL. If you are playing with a single buyin then you can probably role all the way with these hands but once you and your opponents get deep stacks, you have to be more thoughtful with these types of holdings.

I highly suggest reading this thread (my points and the points of others) before attempting to apply books in this fashion.
