Re: Why are the table coaches always the loose passives?
Most table coaches I know are tight-passive. It's like, they read one book, and all they got out of it was "don't play too many hands," so now that they are the masters of starting hand selection the rest of us are unworthy. There's one guy at a local cardroom I frequent that always spends the first few hours complaining about how badly I play (usually referring to things like capping a five-way pot with 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on a board of K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], or 3-betting with AKo preflop), and then the last few hours complaining about how stuck he is.
The loose-passives that suck out all the time also bitch, but in my experience they complain more about bad luck itself than the complain about other people's play. These people probably understand the skill factor little, if at all.
