i just started playing a lot of HU and I have found that a lot of (bad) players play a few hands, make 1 big score and then leave. Is there a psychological impetus for this or are they just dumbasses?

How many years have you been playing poker, and what is your age?

A little over a year, 21...why? Is this some kind of insult?

Default Re: Why do people hit and run?

Hit and Run artists likely read some mis- guided book that told them they EASILY could beat any game if they use this POWERFUL system. Also remember that, in a whole, we live in a very risk adverse society. Most people see gambling as a form of entertainment. They all realize that "they" (we) will get their money if they play long enough.

Think of the quote: "When you are up, get up." unfortunately, it should have added the word forever.

I do have a friend that counts cards, and we debate the merits of hit and run all the time.
