I haven't read King's book, but I'm certain it's intended for opponents who you know are thinkers/players/skilled.

The book in general is not for playing against any specific skill level. It (so far, I ~ half way through) is fantastic. It's for limit HE ring games, but his general approach is very good and he shows how EV changes for actions when your assumptions about the opponent changes. (That is, he will say do an EV calculation given some assumptions, then say "but what if your opponent only does something x% of the time here instead of the y% we assumed, then the EV looks like this...")

Jeez, I'm hijacking my own thread. Great book, I'd reccomend it if you play ring games or would like a nice presentation of a lot of the fundamental tenets of good poker. Also, you can get a feel for the way he thinks by reading his posts. He posts some in the HUSH forum, and his posts almost always entail math.
