I would recommend beginners try to avoid 33 honestly, and I wouldn't try to mix it up. If you're too agressive or passive postflop you can really hurt the EV of the hand and you need a real sense of how strong the hand is through experience that beginners don't have. Implied odds, the impact of rake, position, and table image all plays a pretty massive role in why and when you should play 33 preflop and beginners simply don't understand those and will likely play the hand in the wrong situations and go -EV. 33 is actually -EV in an unraked pot statistically, and pretty strongly -EV in a raked pot, and you need to play it sparingly and correctly. JTo I have a similar philosophy for.

An easy range for complete beginners to play with zero poker knowlodge to play and easily remember is any combination of unsuited cards J or above, any combination of suited cards Ten or above, A7s+, and 77+. This contains about 25/169 of the hands in poker, and will lead to around a ~13% VPIP which is tighter then what most winning players play (15.6%), and is very slightly inaccurate for the sake of simplicity, but probably correct for a newbie not paying attention to things like position who will bleed chips for awhile. This is good enough to win against bad players, and will minimize losses against good players, and requires minimal knowlodge, and you can loosen up a bit when you feel you know more about the game.

Buzzfeed copied the clickbait list formula from Cracked rather than the other way around.

The issue with the site is quite simply, the quality of the writing nosedived, nothing is wrong with their formula.

I've been a chilihead for a long time, not quite to the extent I want to eat a carolina reaper but to the extent that I know all the restaurants in town that actually serve spicy food and not some watered down version.

What's your favorite hot sauce in terms of flavor?
