it's a very good book. i'm learning alot with it,
but,
it depends on the players that you have at your table.
If it is super agressive table, you can just call, or make a small bet (2,3xbb). You are going to be called or re-raise, good time to go all in (KK AA QQ).
If it is a tight table, make a small bet too or sometimes a big bet, if you got called you know that the player has a very strong hand and should be careful.
Well, i'm just learning with this book, THAT'S MY OPINION. but i suggest for you to read that book.
