fish play this game for fun, I think we forget that when we're grinding out our thousands of hands/week.

and the fish don't think like we do.

convos like this actually have the possibility of this fish putting you on his buddy list -- because you're his buddy, you see.

put that in your EV pipe and smoke it

Word.

There is this one guy who I regularry play against in 10 20 and 15 30 game.
Horrible fish, J8o is good to call three cold etc, basicly perfect calling station.
And is usually the biggest donator, still he comes back to play short handed everytime and says hello to me.
And always is fun to chat with in table.
We have actually even changed emails [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Dunno if I would feel bad if I didin't know the money do not matter to him.

I like berating the good players. It puts them on tilt.

Loose passives are MUCH less profitable than loose aggressives.

In limit, I don't agree. LAGs can be tough (but beatable) opponents. Your variance will go up against them. I like playing them.

Loose passive opponents are the worst players at the table, and the ones I want at my table even more. Your variance isn't as high when playing them. Because they are passive, they are constantly making mistakes, unlike the LAGs who are often playing correct strategy with their aggressiveness.
