Not to put a damper on this because it is a damn fine idea, but it this were remotely doable, I am certain there would be several books published by now. Even 2+2 doesn't have a cash game NL book out.

The problem is that you would need to break each situation down from pre-flop, flop, turn and river.

You then need to look at position.

Next comes the cards you hold. Even using shortcuts like small pps and SCs still means a dozen or more situations.

Next, you would have to look at each potential action (bet, check or fold).

Penultimate is number of players in the hand.

Finally, reads on all villains in a hand.

I am no mathematician, but I think you easily have a couple of million of scenarios to cover. I think a better use of time would be to explore ten situations that give you the most trouble and focus on those. I think some of the topics already mentioned would make fine threads in the vein of AJ's Check Your Line series.

People at U. of Alberta are going serious research in poker AI. That is probably that this project would be headed.
