The time I spend determining correct plays is well spent. Although you're right, if I were laying 12.5 to 1 make my hand and only getting 11.5 to 1 pot odds I would be a profitable poker player. Oh wait, I wouldn't. You can insert you line about implied odds here...
The best way to start this game is to be rooted in the math. From there you can play around a bit, but for god's sake, it's not rocket science, stop looking for an easy way out.
One final note, telling ppl its ok to play poorly should be the last thing this site is all about. This person wanted to know in the 4 and 2 rule was right. I showed it was not. It may not be way off, and my judgement may have been too harsh, but it is not correct. I leave no gray area. It is either yes or no, and in this case it was NO.
