It's a really obvious -$EV call that the author shows to be -ceV, so, like, duh.

I just read part 1, and i would hope that a person who reads it would learn why not to do this:

Seriously, I've seen stuff like that in this forum for years. Now we can point them to this book instead of the FAQ.

I just got the book today. I've read Part 1 and I agree with Slim.

I think he covers the equity and preflop play well.

Personally I think you can call 2x and 3xBB raises from EP raises with pocket pairs. I believe Collin suggestion is to fold them to raises.

His discussion on post flop play is basically a manual on staying out of trouble. It is well done, and well suited to someone starting into sngs.

I disagree with some of the post flop analysis, but it's nothing that detracts from the quality of part 1.

So far, so good.
