why o why?

why is it when your playing in a tourny and the blinds are say $20
and you get a good hand so you raise say it say 200 you get called by the blind and 9 out of 10 times they have rags is that 20 really worth protecting that much thanx

cause they suck and want to give you chips

keep it up, can't complain about free chips

thus the luck side of poker. i can't say enough how much that has happened to me. but in the long run u will win

thank you for kind words but im still wondering why?(lol) i dont take cards personally
but i guess maybe thats it.hmm

Some players like to protect their blinds because they think you are stealing them.

It doesn't make a lot of sense, but if you raise to $200 in your situation, that player might sense you are trying to steal and call with a hand they normally would not.

I normally just raise 3-4x the BB and if they call me with crap and hit their cards, I don't lose as much.

You also didn't say what kind of cards you held in your example. If its a high pocket pair, you want them calling all the time. Sure, they will win a couple, but you will win so MUCH in the long run. If you just have two high cards, your only about a 60-70% favorite to win, so its not like its AA vs. 72.
