Default Re: Starting hands. Too tight?

Bad idea IMO. I read SSHE and HEFAP twice cover to cover and studied for 2 months solid before playing for real money at a B&M - and began winning immediately. Been in the black since day 1 mainly because of the study time beforehand I think. I've read many other 2+2 books since then. I'm now on my 6th time through my dog-eared, highlighted, well-worn copy of SSHE after a year playing live B&M and 3 months online heavily bonuswhoring.

When you first start I'd read and study 10x more than play, slowly increasing your playing time ratio until you reach maybe 10x more play than studying after a year or so. But never stop reading, re-reading and studying.

I am approaching this as a second job that is enjoyable as well as profitable. If you are more interested in fun than profit then play and enjoy.
