i dont entirely disagree if youre 6k posts in and hundreds of hours. I wouldnt "suggest new hobby" so much as just say the player is unlikely to improve beyond just winning entirely off of a nit style and a dominant preflop range, which i personally wouldnt find fun, but people have different opinions on fun.
I guess I basically feel the same way as you about the value of SCs and position, I just think you fail to have perspective. My zero position basic strategy has my sister winning about $3-5/hr over a small sample instead of losing her shirt while learning. Breaking even for a new or casual player is extremely good.
We are on the 1/2 forums, not the 5/10 forums. Many of the butchered hands posted, and opinions posted show that these are far from crushers. I think first level thinkers should play tight, and I also think the vast majority of players have a much tougher time not folding enough pre than folding too much (GG being a rare exception to this rule)
