I haven't read it, but I belive I understand the basic premises of the book.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong
The basic philosophy is to always be the aggressor and don't ever give someone a chance to outplay you, basically just move all in most of the time and put the decision back on the other person.
Oversimplification probably, but it is a solid strategy for new players when faced with very tough, seasoned opponents with all the moves.
It's one of the reasons I actually dont' care for a lot of tournaments because the luck factor goes way up, you make a big raise with say AK suited and newbie employing this strategy goes all in with a hand like 8-8 or 9-9, regardless if it is a ridiculously oversized all in bet or not. If you call your risking your tournament on basically a coinflip, if you fold, your getting steamrolled by an inferior player.
Tournaments where most of the action takes place preflop really aren't poker in my opinion, I really like "Deep Stack" tournaments, you have some room to raise, and then fold if re-raised and not be crippled, you can just wait, maybe let them getawy with this type of "all in" play a few times, then have them trapped for all their chips when they try it the 3rd or 4th time.
Just my two cents, I think it is a great strategy for newcomers, I just don't like it when players do it to me
