That's just one example. There are several of the problems where he states that a certain play recommended for live play wouldn't work online or needs to be adapted.

I don't mind being contradicted. I get more out of discussions like that. You're right. I usually read a book, then start re-reading immediately. I re-read a few sections four times already. There are sections where he differentiates online and live play. However, the distinctions are not regarding structure, ie. the faster format with less starting chips. Mostly, it's just about making bets bigger because online players call more. Which is helpful, don't get me wrong. I just hoped for more meat on this subject.

As a self-professed low stakes limit player, you are clearly not the target audience for the book. The fact that you didn't find it that useful to you is not all that surprising.

I thought I was the target audience for this book. I'm a relatively inexperienced NL tournament player looking to get better at NL tournaments. I've played dozens of online tournaments/SNG's. My strategy is my own, cobbled together from my general style (I'm on the loose edge of Harrington's conservative style) and stupid mistakes that put me out in the past.
