Any time someone raises me preflop I can feel my ears turn red.
I dream of a poker game that deals all the beginning cards face up.
No preflop. That's how annoying it is, guess it's supposed to be?

Thoughts on how to deal with this?
It's to the point, among other factors, I may walk away from it.
One other big factor is boredom, like watching paint dry watching timer bars expire. Can't take it.

Have you ever stopped to think that maybe this game is not for you?

Preflop rise is a must learn skill. It can make difference between two players with similar experience and game style. I see many people get irritated when they get a c bet on the flop so yeah its definitely a good tactic to rise preflop. It all depends on which cards it's done and few other small details that can make the difference in a poker session.

Poker is just a game. And each player has his own style, his own tactics, his own strategy, his own tricks. We use all our skills to win the tournament. And for this it is logical to perform actions that are inconvenient to the enemy. It would be very strange if the opponents played giveaway.

You would HATE to play against me because I am a bigtime 3 bettor. These things happen and should, that is what makes poker great. If you are getting frustrated that you are getting 3 bet too much, maybe you should tighten up or range and then 4 bet when you get 3 bet.
