Say what you will bad players simply do better when they apply this terrible strategy. It's really implied odds and they don't play bad all the time otherwise they would go broke instead it seems they care little about their cash,say even in a live game they will call perfect bets for ''YOU'' The good player with 22 on a board of say 8-9-10 with 2 spades. You raise from utg at blinds 5-10 to a lil over bet of 56 dollars with a-10 off in a 6 handed game all are loose weak players. You get 3 callers the flop comes 8-9-10 as described your pretty good here, but you play it cautiously and bet out 40 to 65% of the pot and get 2 callers,turn is a 2 giving him that hidden hand and you again bet out 60% of the pot everyone folds but him now heads up. River Ace of blank no flushes you have 2 pair,but he kept calling so you check the river and he bets out 50% of the pot or lil more. You say well maybe he flopped it,or he is buying it so i'm committed and you call only to see his ducks!! You say nice hand to a guy who flopped the straight and maybe think to yourself well maybe I over played top pair oh well. I keep running in to these situations I only win when I have a monster hand with a solid draw to back it up like A-K hearts flop A-7-4 2 hearts only then will I out flush 4-7 2 pair or a miracle river set. The thing is in weaker games I myself open up to more hands in position like k-9 spades,or q-10 off. I get callers folders and one guy that keeps calling my bet proportional raises in relation to the pot when I flop top pair on good boards! He wont go away and rivers or turns some weak ass 2 pair. I know I know this is a good thing,well maybe over a 5,000 sample with me and him heads up,but I'm losing to these guys and they are always different playing rags then decent hands and I never lose to their good hands as it's obvious they have it and only keep calling my when they have me covered.
