this book was written during a period of time in which poker players had no sophisticated knowledge of percentages or strategics at all. doyle clearly does not enter a pot regardless of his hole cards after winning a pot any longer. back in that period it may have been correct. players were so primitive that doyle said he could beat a game without ever looking at his cards. he cannot do that any longer except when playing against people who just learned the game that day.

as for him freerolling with bad hands. look at gus hansen's style of play. getting it in with the worst hand is his trademark. he makes up for these -ev plays by all the pots he takes down.
