I don't think that this section of the book really applies all that much at the level I'm currently at $25NL.
1) Hand reading is mostly impossible at this level, or at least the tables that I pick. I try to pick the fishiest tables and recently that's been working better than I can hope for on Stars. I don't know waht these guys are drinking, but I've basically given up on hand reading here. ABC poker is fine without having to consider opponents (like 90% of the time). When in doubt fold, because a better opportunity will be there on the next hand.
2) If villain's range includes those hands he isn't willing to stack off with, you need to decrease your bet a little bit. You still don't want to give odds to the most likely of draws.
3) You certainly don't want to deny odds of all draws, so the less likely of draws will be out there. You will need to give odds to draw to the 2 or 4 outters but not the 8 or 15 outters: bet accrodignly.
I think that you are going to have to learn to lay down your big hands when those less likely draws hit on later streets. They don't talk about that much, but is it implied in the reading?
