I think you give FAR too much credit to the mindless degens that fill the casinos, they're not doing it as a strategy, they're more than likely well on the way to mental illness, gambling is a disease of the mind.
And lest you wonder why I would say such a thing while posting here on Cards Chat... its because I don't consider poker to be "gambling" at all. That's for the smelly degens to revel in. For me, poker is a skill game, with a gambling element yes... but over the long haul, that "gambling element" (otherwise known as "luck") converges to zero. The gambling element disappears leaving only the relative skill sets to determine who is a winning player and who isn't. Smelly degens are almost never winning players, trust me on this. LOL
