If he was for instance some maths professor who’d gone deep on the theory of poker you could have a point he could teach something valuable even without having played himself
But he’s not. He’s merely someone who’s looked at pio sims like everyone else and makes surface level comments about them.
You need to have competed in poker to understand what playing well really means. Can’t believe people would disagree with this on a poker forum. And over a big sample because if you only play 50k hands you will learn things that are bad but seem good because of variance.
