Why are the table coaches always the loose passives?

[partygirluk]

The guys who constantly bitch about getting gutshotted, runner-runnered etc. tend to be the same players who chase gutshots, runner-runners etc.

Why is this? Seems counterintuitive to me

We dislike in others what we most dislike in ourselves.

I think its because they feel that they have something to prove.

Like how much money they saved for the hand since in hindsight they lost. If they'd have 3 bet their mid set on the flop or turn, they'd have lost more money since the guy ended up making his flush on the river. Money saved is money earned even when it was clearly the wrong play during the hand.

Friggin' morons. I love watching these idiots rebuy.

One of my psychology profs once said, "Any sentence about people that includes the word "always" is almost certainly wrong." His statement applies to your thesis.

Lots of table coaches have styles other than loose-passive. In fact, I have not seen a strong relationship between playing style and the tendency to be a table coach.

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.

Pretty much the description of every table coach I have ever seen.

Cause good tight, conservative players know not to complain about people who out-draw other people.... In fact we want these people to keep drawing, they will loose in the long run.

Do you guys ever see the ones that will put their face in their hands after they dont hit their "15 outs" ? I find this one QUITE AMUSING
