I agree with you. but we also need to consider the cost of learning poker. you can read all the books you want, you can't really learn until you start play real $$.
but overall poker is not a very difficult game to learn if you are a thinking player. It take me 1 month from starting Holdem completely new to become a winning player, mainly focus on sngs. then when I start to play serious in cash, it probably take another month. Actually a lot of poker fundamentals are very obvious after you play for a while. i played cash game for 4 month. After I become a consistent winner and read the book by ed miller, believe or not I have figured out most (80%) of things in the book myself already. knowing the poker fundamental is enough to make you winner, but it won't make you exceptionally good. I quote something from ed miller's book which really gave me a new perspective.:
"But poker is a strange bird. If, somehow, you were blessed tomorrow with
the
knowledge of the perfect strategy (and stripped of all other poker knowledge
),
then you’d do quite well. Playing your perfect strategy, you’d be
guaranteed
not to be a long-term loser, and, in today’s games with plenty of bad
players,
you’d likely win a mint.
But you wouldn’t be the best player. At least you wouldn’t be if you
defined
“best player” as the one with the highest average win rate in three- or
morehanded
games. You’d be a big winner, in the top few percent of all players, but
a number of other players would win even more.
How can that be? How can someone play better than perfect? The trick is
that we’ve defined the “perfect” strategy to be unbeatable. It’s
designed so no
one can get the best of you. It is, fundamentally, a defensive strategy"
playing a perfect game is not going to make you the best player. How interesting! BUT it is a necessary step to master the perfect game for you to go above and beyond. poker is about trading mistakes. How to learn to trade small mistakes vs other players big mistake is where winning player turns to an exceptional player. 不过如果象墙说的不用fundamental poker theory那就本末倒置了.. |
