Alright, so balanced deception. Really important in today's games, since the higher stakes you play you need to take some more "unconventional" lines in order to maximize value against thinking opponents.

Take a look at the example on pg.105. A simple example of missing value on one street, in order to make it up on a later street. A lot of other examples are to c/c a pre-flop raiser with a set on a draw heavy board, and over shove the river (considering decent run outs).

Homework assignment... find some hands you feel you played with balanced deception and explain why you did.

NOTE: If you are playing 10NL and below, you shouldn't be worried about this too much. In today's games, maybe there is a 10NL regular you have some history with and you'd benefit from taking some different lines. Post those if you have them, as at any stake level their can be good reasons for taking those lines. BUT... in general you'd only concern yourself with this approach at slightly higher stakes.
