A Question About Marginal Hands

[W. Deranged]

I tend to disagree with this sentiment.

The fact is, I can't play 30 hands without seeing one of my opponents (whether a rock, a lag, or anything in between) badly misplay a premium hand. Players often lose tons of value by slowplaying As, fail to properly value bet obvious good hands like TPTK with AK, fail to protect vulnerable holdings like a JJ overpair, and so on.

One thing I've noticed, particularly about rocky players and players that think that tight play is all their is to poker, is that such players lose TONS of value on premium hands. This, in my opinion, is one of the major reasons why such players aren't the kinds of winners that they assume they should be because they play tight and try to avoid getting into trouble.
