Why are freeroll donkeys the way they are?
Think about it. When you play a game of chess with people - no matter what their skill level is - they'll still try to play good. But when it's freeroll poker, people suddenly play like ... donkeys. Seriously, what is up with that?
The stats on my freshly configured HUD shocked me: people were playing 75%-100% of their starting hands, and going all the way to showdown about 50% of the time. 50%! That's like 4-5 people playing through the whole hand almost every time!
Why do people need financial punishment to stop playing bad poker? Why don't they take the game seriously?
