See how much money you make and how much your opponent loses.
Deal the cards a few dozen times.
That's how you can learn about pot commitment, low SPR flops, and why set-mining/playing suited connectors with 20% of your stack pre-flop is a bad idea -- or at least it's a bad idea unless you can get Hero to fold lots of low-SPR flops.
Yes, this is pure theory. I know it. In our case probably is a little better then breaking even with 20% invested pre-flop. But how about if the other dude has the stack like ours? a $400 effective stacks will require on our part to make a preflop raise to $100 to pull ahead in case he calls. Else we win just the blinds. Actually a big stack is a liability when we have AA or KK. Even for QQ we cannot play for stacks with big stacks. I rather have 66 with big stacks instead of AA/KK.
