Thank you Mason, for taking the time to reply. Love your books. Also, love the Milton Friedman.

Thank you for clarifying.

So I'm just getting ahead of myself, then. I went back and re-read the previous section about what constitutes a small sized pot vs a large sized pot and the example is between two extremes, so thank you again.

My apologies for perpetuating false information. I had read elsewhere that it's something of a spiritual successor, if that's a better phrase.

Good to know. I will be more hesitant about judging the book and will just continue to work through it. Do you have a personal recommendation for an easier book? I started on NLHETAP but it was just too abstract for someone getting started. Also have Harrington on Holdem v1, and wondering if that might be easier to pickup? Since I'm so new to NLHE, I just want to learn as quickly as possible. Haven't even played a game yet.
