Re: WLLH: is its premise untrue?
A couple of thoughts:
1. Work on table selection; if you look hard enough, you can absolutely find the kinds of tables Lee Jones is talking about.
2. Read Small Stakes Hold'em by Ed Miller as soon as possible. Read is again. Don't read Lee Jones again, except as an intellectual exercise to go back and find all the mistakes. That can be fun.
3. You need to realize how online and live games differ. Many of these intro. small stakes hold'em books were written before internet poker became so sophisticated, and are aimed at live games which are much, much worse than the online levels. Many players here, for example, will play 4 or more tables online at one limit. I, for example, play 4 tables of $3/6. Online, I guess I'm a "$3/6 Player," though in live games I play 10/20 - 20/40. So perhaps the phenomenon you're noticing is a function of the "dilation" that occurs to the limits online.
