For whatever reason its easier for us to play properly. I have tons of friends who simply can not laydown their straight when they know someone has a flush etc. Plus, poker can be really mentally exhausting if you are playing many hours a day, not everyone is cut out for it.
I think there are lots of players that really do believe "its been heads 8 times in a row , its bound to be heads!"

Playing against moneymaker and fossilman was very very educational.
They wait and wait and then attack and attack.
They work out what type of player you are.
What cards you go on.What peice of the pot makes you stay in.What size of bet you will call ,what makes you fold ,when you have the nuts , how you play them ..etc etc..
You can see them doing it.

They also said at the table that nowadays because of who they are they have had to adjust there game as people fuck with them more lol

I am fortunate in mind set that I never really get pissy or stressy over bad beats. I smile and wait.
