More and more these days i find peolple shoving calling raises with any two cards . when i play live this doesnt seem to occur as often maybe they dont want to look an idiot when they dont hit i dont know . after researching these players seemingly willing to shove any two the vast majority are losing players yet they continue the habit which seems somewhat odd . i like these players because they dont get lucky all the time and on a good day are easy to wipe out . Now they must know this but still thsy continue can anybody explain why this is . Why would you not want to improve your game instead of relying on dumb luck . i just dont get it .

    Call me sherlock, but most people just play poker for fun... not to win money.  Money is a bonus for most.

    I think people forget it is a hobby for most. When I go play football I am not there to try turn pro, or to get scouted, and not even to look good - just pay my money and have a kick about.

    I for one just love the game, an lets be honest, there is a bit inside all of us that can't help but smile out loud when our 43 off suit bluff cracks AA, I get (maybe wrongly) far more pleasure from getting lucky than a simple I have AA and beat 22

    And also I think most would agree standard of poker is a lot better then before :)

    Run well

    Im getting fed up getting my money in good only to be called by a worst hand then they hit, example iv hit a straight on the flop, 2 cards same suit, im happy to win the pot there and then, get my money in they call hit a flush on the river.
