1) a) hand reading is critical to implied odds, because if you put villian on a stronger/weaker hand than he actually has you will have worse/better implied odds than you think you do.
b) balance is important when you vary your bets because other wise you will be easy to read (big bets = you want big pot, and converse)
2) not looking at the book , but I am sure that your implied odds or lower. This is why I prefer more of a 20x rule with small pairs, unless I know my opp very well or it's a three bet (usually "face up" big pair at stakes I play at)
3) you have to sometimes give the "best" draws proper odds to draw in order to maximize EV (worse draws are more common).
BTW this is a great book, I have worn my copy out almost. One thing I notice is that it is difficult to adapt "big pots are for big hands" with aggressive 6max online tables.
