i got the hoh series in my kindle out of curiosity , i knew most of the concepts in the book except the yellow zone but since im usually very aggresive from the start it didnt really affect my play because according to harrington playing aggresive is fine at that zone , i didnt understand though why did he say bet your high cards aggresively at that zone and what does that mean? if i enter in the pot with a hand such KQo at 10-20m shall i aim to play it for my stack if i hit top pair?

for example if you have a stack of 2900 at 50/100 lvl you are below 20m ,you are dealt KQo on Ep , according to harrington you have to increase your ranges from each position in this zone , you raise for 300 and you get one caller in late position , will you overbet a board like K-x-x?

another example

you have a stack of 4000 at 75/150 lvl you are below 20m , you are dealt KTo on the hijack , you raise for 450 and you get one caller on the blinds , will you overbet a board like 10-x-x?

Last question

if you are thinking in terms of m you will go instantly from 20m to 10m when the antes come into play in but thats not the case if you are thinking in terms of bb , i think i would make much different decisions if i was thinking in terms of m but some pros think in terms of bb so i dont think is that bad compared to m , who is the best way of the two?

some of his stuff is pretty outdated,

29bb ep you could open fold KQo on some tables,
but usually raise 2-2.2x bb, cbet flop for 35-45% and go from there

overbet cbetting is incredibly hard to do if you arent going to give off blatant betsizing tells. try to keep cbet sizing at least kinda consistent. also the shallower the stacks the lighter we can get it in, and the less bets we need to make to do it, so our cbet becomes smaller as we can easily get it in by the turn/river in most spots.
