"If you bet a street, and the thought of barreling 70% (or an equivalent combination of barreling, check-calling and check-raising) on the next street will make you feel sick, almost regardless of which card falls, you are probably betting too much on the current street"
"preflop raiser OOP - we're committing ourselves to a certain amount of betting, check-calling and check-raising on the next street. If we're not willing to do this, we're opening ourselves up for getting exploited by loose floating by a player with position on us."

post flop skills
" our goal is not to memorize everything, but to design a training method for postflop play."
"For each particular flop, we write out our complete flop strategy. By repeating this process over and over on many different flop textures, patterns will begin to emerge, and the thought processes will become more and more automatic. Through repetition we will slowly build knowledge and feel for how to play on different flop types."
"So the purpose of our work is to define the necessary theory, plus design a training method that you can work with on your own. The more you practice postflop play away from the table, the faster you'll learn, and the better your understanding of optimal postflop play will become. As a bonus, you will get a much better understanding of your own default preflop ranges, and how these interact with flops."

on exploiting
theory:
To exploit a non-optimal strategy maximally, we have to make extreme adjustments. Even if the mistake we're exploiting isn't extreme.
practice:
Moderate Adjustments:
But if you think they will catch on and fight back more, you might be better of in the long run showing some moderation.
Your task is then to find a sweet spot that balances your desire to steal a lot with your desire to keep your opponent in a tight state where you can continue to steal a lot.
So on the long run it might be better for you to steal something like 80%, and fold the absolute garbage hands like 83o, 62o, etc. They might be profitable opening hands in isolation, here and now, but if you open 100% of your hands, your profit from stealing on the button might decrease in the long run.
