That is the only play I want to berate them for cus they are hurting my equity.

No, they are not. They are helping it. If you disagree with me, think of it this way. Is what they are doing helping or hurting their own equity? If it's hurting, it MUST be helping yours. For every time they screw you over, they screw over other players at the table, and this is good news.

This is only true in the long term if you think that the equity they cost themselves is being evenly distributed among all of the remaining players evenly. If you're pushing more than your fair share of those remaining players, which should probably be the case, you're going to be losing a fair amount of equity yourself, since you're up against somebody who is a little too loose. So I don't think it's the case that that guy is helping you, unless you adjust, which of course you can do.

They don't know any better.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

But they'e suited.

I've got pot odds (but not implied odds).

They knew I had nothing (and they call with 63o).

They can't help themselves.

They want to gamble.

They're pissed off at someone (spite).

Because XXXX site is rigged and the draw/undepair/undercards always win.

Because they just plain suck.

I think this covers most of it. I assume you're talking about unintelligent play, since we make our plays for a reason.

I busted OOTM 6 out of 7 times tonight because I read this and thought it made sense: This is why they thought my pushes were stoopid

Ugh. Don't make me do the hand converter thing. I hate it.

Busted out when I pushed with trash from SB 4 times and twice from CO. 4 times with 5 of us to go and twice on the bubble. I haven't given up on MJ yet though. The 2+2 thread on the piece was great too.

Why isn't there a forum devoted 100% to Curtains' hands?

1) Why do people do this to me?

2) Why do I always donk it up in tourneys I probably could have won but then get bad beats in tourneys when I actually play good.

3) Why does too much alcohol make me bluff too much?

4) Why do things become blurry when I cross my eyes?

5) Why can't I keep my eyes open when I sneeze?

6) Why can't I have aces at least once a tourney?

7) Why do I waste my time trying to be funny in lc threads like this one?

8) Why is Scuba's name NOT Scuba Steve?
