also keep in mind that around 7 months ago i just began playing shorthanded at 5/10 coming from a full ring background. i really didnt understand preflop starting hand values and actually used a starting hand guideline to figure out what hands to play. i ended up with a strong winrate but it wouldnt have been nearly as good if i didnt have the guidelines to look to or have twoplustwo to tell me what hands i should be playing. the point is that the ultimate goal should be to understand what makes starting hands profitable but when you arent good enough to come to your own conclusions these starting hand charts will save/make you alot of money.
