Does anybody understand why action/bingo players who call any 2 cards pre flop bother waiting to post the big blind?

Thats always baffled me. We all know you are calling the raise, so why dont you just post the big blind?

First of all, I don't see the point behind waiting for the BB at all, unless you are very close to that position. I mean, we are talking about cash games, some regular buy-in stack is at least 100BB, so 1 BB is nothing. However I have seen a post recently with a similar topic, where someone said that they always wait for the BB cause it gives them time to look at opponents, how they play - that sort of thing.

there are players who play just for the fan, I think this is the main answer, or simply with a larger range than you.

I quite like joining a table and having to wait a few hands before I start playing, for this very reason.

there are many positions for example in the big blind position you are last to act therefor you can gauge the strength of opponents hands & their size of bet (you may even get a chance to limp in with checking you're hand whatever it may be,whereas if you are in the next seat UTG(under the gun) during said hand you would have to act 1st where you make that decision to fold, check or push with a decent hand and so on and so on, cheers
the only stupid questions are the ones you don't ask
