Yeah like I said in the review, I would hate to see this book in the hands of a true beginner, especially one that is not afraid to follow the books advice. I would hate to be put in the spots the book teaches you to put others in. Still, even though it would suck to be at the table with someone playing this way it is a pretty reckless strategy and that is why I don't think actual beginners should play this way. I believe they should learn right, solid, good, poker first and later down the road read this book. I do think seasoned tourney players should read this book and be aware of this playing style.
