Biondino, thanks for a reasoned response. You say that the 19-hand system is intentionally simple. Exactly.Too simple. Telling people not to think about suitedness and position means they will be bad players for life. For example, in a short-handed game, you can limp on the button with any two suited cards and be +EV.

The true fish are glorified slot players. They don't care about anything and don't want to learn. They just want action. On a site I play I see two people on there all day who just sit there donating. They just keep playing. I have no idea where they get the money, but they're never going to change.
