I agree with some of the points made - as textbook poker is only as good as the textbook but what books do not guage is the level of individual variance between players and games, it changes all the time and its one of the reasons why people keep playing the game, chasing that dream that one day, it will be themselves who scoop a big one.
It took me 3 years to win a big tourney and then it happened again 11 months later and then a gap of 6 years (all online). Playing live has brought me more success but going back to the thread here - i think anyone who has a strong knowledge mathematically is at an advantage in the long run against players who are not, depending on the level you buy in at - always dictates the type of players who enter..you will get the odd aggro player who can afford to play LAG but generally speaking, the lesser ability players stick to smaller stakes.
You do not become a better player by just reading books but it can help, recognising optimum plays in certain situations is vital but then - i will take luck anyday over being theoretically great at this beautiful and frustrating game!
