"Put a bad beat on Cancer"
Here's an excerpt from the book to whet your appetite...
Tip #2: Don't Over-Bet or Under-Bet
Betting a very large amount to win a small pot is called "overbetting the pot." You are risking a lot of chips to win a small amount of chips.
Players that overbet the pot generally do not want to be called.
Betting a small amount to win a big pot is called "underbetting the pot." For example, if there is 5000 in the pot, betting 100 would be silly - almost everyone would be able to call and try to catch a card that could beat you.
Theory: make most of your bets and raises the size of the pot – you will conceal the strength of your hand, get full value when you have the best hand, and make the draws pay an appropriate price to play further.
