If so then what exactly are you not understanding?
I ended up working it out, but I do have another issue if you're interested in helping.
In 7.1, facing bets in end of action spots, author has a criteria that breaks down when hero would want to perform an end of action call on the river, based on villain's HUD stats and action throughout the hand up to and through the river. The first criteria is the following question, "Is it likely for villain to be value betting worse hands?"
Unfortunately, I'm having a tough time making a connection between how the author is drawing conclusions, between the three hand examples that follow in section 7.2. For the first two hand examples, the boards are very similar and with villian opening from the SB or BU, ranges are already wide, and then villain already has aggressive stats between the two examples. Still, in the first example, hand 49, it's "unlikely,but possible"and then in hand 50, unless im misunderstanding, his phrasing implies that it's more likely villain could be called betting with worse hands
To me, it just seems that there isn't enough information or distinction to draw any conclusion.
Side note about this book: As much as I think it's comprehensive and really solid, I think some of the hand examples could do a better job connecting the dots. While most of the time, it just takes rereading a section once and things will click, there are a few times where I feel like I've really had to bang my head against a wall to figure something out.
