or you could take a more theoretical approach by memorizing preflop ranges and studying modern indifference theory.
However, when it comes down to actually playing cards for the first several times, I think a tight is right approach is best. Then once you get better at visualizing your ev at game speed, you can start calling down more bluffcatchers, bluffing more, value betting thinner, etc.
The reason to play tight at first is basically because you're probably going to lose. Thus playing tight minimizes that loss.
