Re: Learning hold em for a total beginner
By win rate I was referring to bb/100. It may be true that a given hand will lose more often vs. multiple opponents who incorrectly call to the river, but those losses are more than made up for by the extra bets you win when they don't suck out. Bad players increase your winnings, if you disagree, well . . . .
As to your other statements, if you are making correct decisions, those decisions are, by definition, +ev long term. How is making +ev decisions a bad habit to get into? Isn't that what winning poker is all about?
Would you recommend a beginner sit down to learn at 10/20 tables? That's a ridiculous option for most people without a deep and expendible starting bankroll.
