Here is a small sampling.
1) "The trick to beating games filled with weak players is to avoid doing anything fancy." Page 121.
2) "...I believe you should seldom bet strange amounts online." Page 122.
3) "The best tactic when you hold a small pair, meaning sixes on down (but medium pairs are vulnerable, too) is to attack the blinds, call in the blinds, or get in the pot cheaply in hopes of making three of a kind." Page 131.
4) "Oddly, some players who would otherwise be very credible have the bad habit of calling with overcards much too often." Page 135
5) "I know that there's lots of money to be made when you can force the situation to be heads-up with the last-to-act position against a lesser opponent." Page 139.
6) "Online, many opponents tend to keep bluffing once they've begun and to keep "value betting" weak hands." Page 157.
7) "...immediate bets and raises - those made without hesitation - are the most threatening and the least likely to indicate a bluff." Page 171.
8) "Online, the answer is to play using more straightforward strategy and use less psychology." Page 180.
Doyle's book is a good refresher read even for the more experienced online player. Sometimes it helps to get back to basics.
