The premier chapter is D-Neg's. I think he wanted to write 'poker bible', I think it's the only reason to get the book. The other chapters, are both superficial and superfluous - I reckon D-Neg must be disappointed by the other contributors efforts. Perhaps them being 'poker buddies' meant he was unwilling to be too critical and / or push to make similar effort. Given the delays in the books publication, they could be because he was keen to keep tweaking his chapter; or, he had to keep badgering the other contributors to pull their fingers out. Some of them I think must have only had beer mats to hand when they put together their chapters. I don't think small ball is going rip the tables up on mid to low stakes cash tables, especially online where the call button is too easy to hit. Possibly, on a very tight tables it might yield some good implied odds situations; equally high stakes too. Of course, you'd have to be open raise with a wide range of holdings. I see small ball primarily as a deep stack tournament strategy, with its chip accumulation strategy through a lot of positional blind stealing, implied odds benefits, and post-flop out maneuvering.
