Usually, I've liked the 2p2's books, but not this one. I was very disappointed in it.
In the examples section, there are 23 pages on short stack play (20bb), 37 pages on medium stack play (40-60bb), and only 7 pages of example of play at 100bb. Yes that's correct, ONLY seven pages. The theory section is not great compared to other books. This is one book in my library that I rarely, if ever, use for study.
If you are playing micro to small stakes online, to be a winning player you must play very well at 100bb and deeper. Most of Jockusch's examples are playing $1/$2 to $50/$100 with small stacks.
"Mastering Pot-Limit Omaha: the modern aggressive approach"
by Herbert Okoowitz and Wladimir Taschner, in my opinion, is a much better book. The examples are categorized into Limped Pots, Single-Raised Pots, Three-Bet Pots, and Four-Bet Pots. The stack sizes are typically 100bb+. These examples relate better to what you will face when playing. The theory section also better at describing hand strength, when to 3-bet, call a 3-bet etc.
