Rolf Slotboom Pot-Limit Omaha book, any good?

goes off with titles starting with "Secrets of. . ." but I've read some
reasonably good stuff by him. Is this one any good, or are there
better books?

their Pot Limit Omaha skills. It discusses playing short stack and deep stack
and the relavance of position on the table and certain player types. It's a book
to study, not just read.

I'm honestly having trouble getting through it. He spends a lot of
time stating and justifying a simple short-stack strategy.
1. Buy in short.
2. Sit immediately to the right of an overly aggressive player.
3. Limp or make a small raise with premium starting hands, including
double-suited medium connectors.
4. Re-raise, catching all of the players in the middle.
The idea is to pick up the dead money from the other players and
benefit from the deep stacks knocking each other out late in the hand.
I'm convinced this is a good strategy in the right game, but the
repetition is tedious. There are many, many pages regarding
short-stacked play.
I was pretty excited when I made it to the deep-stack section, where I
learned to look out for short stacks playing premium hands. (I
exaggerate; there's some more. The later streets don't get the
attention they deserve though, imho.)
I'm enjoying (and learning more from) the "classic articles" more, even
the ones I've read before.

I'm not aware of anything comparable. The SS2 chapter and
Ciaffone/Reuben's Pot-limit and No-limit Poker have some good stuff.
I've been critical of the presentation, but it's taught me things about
the game.

That sounds remarkably like FellKnight's PLO rampage articles.

It is as good as a poker book can be. And even though he's only directly
talking about PLO, it ought to help a lot with other games. Now, do you
want me to get flattering?
