Im still reading the book now, but it is nothing like Largay's book, this doesnt touch poker fundamentals/strategy at all, this is mainly a "playing the player" book, but I feel so far, like it is mostly filler material.
So far I would not recommend it, I have to finish reading though. If anything it takes information from other sources and puts them all in one place, to back up what is being discussed, it just has so little info in it overall, being that it is filler, just very well worded concepts that take too much text to get to the actual advice.
Playing the Player was a mess for me to read, my game was worse after trying to read it and apply it immediately after. This book, is so much simpler that if you took the concepts (which there are very few) and put them into practice right away you would not get yourself into trouble.
Largay and Miller would always play a full stack, many of the hand examples in this book our hero is playing a shorter stack, but that is only a minor issue as effective stacks are usually even lower.
Not a bad book at all, but I think most of the people here would be disappointed in the content.
