Initial Buyins

[photofiend]

Been playing 2-4 at Hollywood Park and am baffled by some players always buying in for the minimum $20, then continuously forking out additional 20's when as they lose each buy. I can theorize that they believe they are limiting their losses, but it seems to me they are also preventing themselves from ever winning big hands that will offset all those losses.

I also expected these players to be very tight in order to make the 20 work, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Anyone have any comments on this.

Thanks.

I think that some players like the "protection" they get from frequent all-ins.

Little do they know how much opportunity they lose if their all-in hand happens to be a monster and all they can collect is a few measly bets.

I see this a lot on-line and really don't get it either.
