Wait are some of these piece of "wisdom" in this book? I've heard of him and know he's highly successful, but I mean...really?:
Quote:
1. Is it true that deep stacked the lowest c bet size we should choose is 1/2 pot?
No
Quote:
2. Is it true that our only all in bluffs should be semi bluffs? There's no need to ever be triple barreling with air?
Do you mean prior to the river? Anyway the answer is No, and also no.
Quote:
3. Is it true that we should be flatting a lot of dry A high boards IP regardless of our cards, because these are the most common to be c bet, and thus bluffed the most often, so when they x on the turn, we can steal at a ridiculously high frequency with a bet? I've actually tried this one out in cash a few times since I've read this and it has been highly successful, but I want to make sure this isn't playing with fire too much.
Maybe possibly in practice bun in theory, no.

4. Is it true that we shouldn't be playing draws anywhere near as aggressively as we should in cash games because of the survival aspect? If so, I'm wondering how this makes sense? The odds don't change from cash to tournament.
No. Think about how silly this is, for the reason you mentioned and also whatever nebulous "survival aspect" he's talking about should also be affecting the other player which should increase fold equity which should, in theory, at least balance out whatever impact the "survival aspect" is having, no?
Quote:
5. Is it true that if the board doesn't contain multiple missed draws, we should fold to river raises just about every time?
Only if we do a poor job constructing our betting range.
Quote:
6. Do we have a flatting range at all when we're 40-60 BB deep and we open and get 3 bet?
Of course why wouldn't we? This is a zero sum game, there's a non-decreasing relationship between the EV of a strategy and the # of options in the strategy profile a strategy that contains no flats cannot ever be better (at least at equilibrium) than a strategy that does contain flats.

7. Do we need to be all in squeezing super wide when we are 40-27 BB deep? He points to hands such as 65s and T8o in these spots? T8o to me sounds ridiculously wide?
Depends entirely on who opened and who flatted, but 65s is a good squeezing hand at ~25bb and fewer.
You should not have a 3b jamming range prior to, IDK I wanna say 30bb or so.
3betting all in 25bb eff w/ T8o sounds pretty atrocious no matter who the opener is.
Quote:
8. Should we only be 3 betting opens with 40 BB or less vs extremely loose openers and premium hands because of the fact that if we get 4 bet jammed on, we will almost always have the right odds on a call?
No.
This is pretty good exploitative advice for your purposes though, but these statements don't seem to have much theoretical basis.
