Well, I think there's almost nothing in poker that couldn't in some sense be called over-simplified.

Sure, the book could have spent more time dicussing the finer points of continuation bets (and just about everything else for that matter) and instead of there being two volumes we'd have 3 or 4 or ...well, it could literally go on almost forever.

Having said that, I think when the problems are studied closely, they do a very good job of fleshing out the spectrum of continuation bet type scenarios.

I agree that Harrington has to simplify to keep the page count below 1000.

The reason I bring it up is because after reading the section on continuation bets, I answered nearly all of the questions/problems correctly. It's nice to think I am understanding the material, but felt that the problems were easier than "real life" situations (maybe if I view my live tournament situations like book problems I will have it made [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]).

Anyway, just wondered if anyone else had that feeling while reading it.
