Ok so this is something that I came up creatively over a beer. This is a thread that will ask why? Why do people do this? Why do people make such and such play? etc.

My first is this; Why does everyone at the 33s and below slowplay AA and KK preflop no matter what their table image, chip stack or absolute position?

Why does Bones post so much? Do you play poker?
Why can't I go out with Vida, and tap that fine posterior every night, and twice on Sundays? WHY?

Why the [censored] do people limp/call off their stacks with low pairs.
Honestly people, what the [censored] are you thinking?
That is the only play I want to berate them for cus they are hurting my equity. I don't mind suckouts but I racing AK vs 33 after your donk ass limped from UTG+1 and I pushed my 12xbb stack from the button against your 16xbb stack. Just fold you [censored]!

why is "fucktards" not censored?
They don't know any better.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
But they'e suited.
I've got pot odds (but not implied odds).
They knew I had nothing (and they call with 63o).
They can't help themselves.
They want to gamble.
They're pissed off at someone (spite).
Because XXXX site is rigged and the draw/undepair/undercards always win.
Because they just plain suck.
I think this covers most of it. I assume you're talking about unintelligent play, since we make our plays for a reason.
I busted OOTM 6 out of 7 times tonight because I read this and thought it made sense: This is why they thought my pushes were stoopid (http://www.tightpoker.com/tournament/theorem_blind_stealing.html)

Post your 6 bust hands....
Ugh. Don't make me do the hand converter thing. I hate it.
Busted out when I pushed with trash from SB 4 times and twice from CO. 4 times with 5 of us to go and twice on the bubble. I haven't given up on MJ yet though. The 2+2 thread on the piece was great too.

Why isn't there a forum devoted 100% to Curtains' hands?

1) Why do people do this to me? (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=4245831&an=0&page=3#Post 4245831)
2) Why do I always donk it up in tourneys I probably could have won but then get bad beats in tourneys when I actually play good.
3) Why does too much alcohol make me bluff too much?
4) Why do things become blurry when I cross my eyes?
5) Why can't I keep my eyes open when I sneeze?
6) Why can't I have aces at least once a tourney?
7) Why do I waste my time trying to be funny in lc threads like this one?
8) Why is Scuba's name NOT Scuba Steve?

No, they are not. They are helping it. If you disagree with me, think of it this way. Is what they are doing helping or hurting their own equity? If it's hurting, it MUST be helping yours. For every time they screw you over, they screw over other players at the table, and this is good news.

This is only true in the long term if you think that the equity they cost themselves is being evenly distributed among all of the remaining players evenly. If you're pushing more than your fair share of those remaining players, which should probably be the case, you're going to be losing a fair amount of equity yourself, since you're up against somebody who is a little too loose. So I don't think it's the case that that guy is helping you, unless you adjust, which of course you can do.
why did you use so many question marks?
yeah, why is it not censored??????
there's my why question????
this forum censored my saying bo ob ie prize but not this

My friend told me about a final exam he had (at Harvard) in his Philosophy class. The exam asked "Why?" and that was it. One dude wrote "why not?" and walked out of the class. Professor gave him an A!

It's very possible my friend was lying, but when he told me the story he told it as "my father".
My friend went to Harvard and he was a legacy, so that much is true at least.

why did you post this?

Well, for one, I had a few cocktails last evening and I usually like to make drunken posts around here. For two, knowing how many of the typical fish around your level play is vital to your success. Many times some of the plays that we deem as "wrong" becuase we don't use them can still trick us and hurt our ev. I posted this in an effort to get some of these things out in the open.

Why do people call an all in for 1200 from middle position 7 handed with 33 when the blinds are 50-100?
