In fact, playing big hands well is an overrated skill. These hands occur rarely, and when they do it is difficult to play them poorly.

They go on to suggest that instead, learning to play marginally strong hands, such as top pair good kicker, or even weak pairs when the board de-values your hand well is much more profitable in the long run, because you see these situations 30 or 40 times a night, instead of just one or two.
