^^ if you want to learn to play for real (and actually be decent), that's the worst way imo. Games are way to slow and you don't learn much playing the same few people (that probably also suck; most live players suck) once a week. # of hands played is extremely important in building skills. Yeah, you'll learn the rules and maybe have some fun in a live game like that, but not much more.
I'm doing the math now. Does learning vary directly and linearly with number of hands played, or is time a confound in the equation? It seems to me that learning this is much like learning anything else...it is actually a curve, and you need to optimize to the peak of the curve. Time per hand is going to be important, I agree on that. . . but too little and you don't get to analyze and learn why something worked or did not work. Too much and you are wasting time.
