This seems to be a re-occuring theme on this forum. I know it's NLHE and the hands people continue with tend to be stronger, however our opponents still play silly hands in strange ways.

Also, one needs to consider the alternate reality of forum posts as many players tend to only post losing hands as the results-oriented mindset says they must have done something wrong to result in a loss of so much money. When a typical player posts, you can almost reply in the dark "he has a set, fold" and look like a prodigy. Forget about hand ranges, profiles, etc. HE HAS A SET FOLD WHILE YOU STILL HAVE A BANKROLL!!!!
