I cant really put down those people who bet on a draw because i find myself doing that as well as part of a strategy.

Its not mainly because your hoping for your card to come and rescue you but its also a part of a strategy which i use where if i dont hit my card, then i show everyone what i was betting on and make them think im a loose player or a calling station.

Then i play really tight for the rest of the night and when i really do have an unbeatable hand and i bet the same way as when i was bluffing, people will call me coz they think im bluffing and in the end, collect a lot of chips.

So for anyone who wonders why certain people play so loosely, it might just be because they want you to think theyre a loose player to catch you off guard.

Players beware.

You figure out what the other guy has, or at least what he doesn't have you make the big bet, and he calls and hits the 22 to 1 shot. Then he bets you all in.
As hard as it is give him the pot. Even if it puts you on a short stack.
