*Only a coach, who has talked with you for a few hours & has a solid grasp of your poker knowledge could begin to consider themselves qualified to make a recommendation.
I will give this bit of advice: you can win enough playing the Button, CO, HJ, LJ & Steal seats to overcome lost revenue folding OOP pre-flop. Your win-rate won't be as good as johnny's, but what do you expect as a beginner? Master those seats where you can get absolute position vs your Vs. Don't try & master the whole game at once.
