From personal experience, there’s nothing “good” poker players hate more than losing to a “bad” poker player who “shouldn’t have even been in the band.”

- jasonwatkinspdx 4y agoEspecially in this era of GTO kinda taking over poker mindshare, it's important to remember that poker games happen in a context and something like Game Theory is really only applicable when you can fully account for everyone's subjective ordering of utility of outcomes. I played in a weekly game back during the early 00's poker boom, where one guy that showed up pretty clearly just wanted to get away from his wife and get drunk. It was a low stakes game (intentionally so diverse friends could play) and the amounts involved were totally immaterial to him. He had zero problem being the fish of the game and no real pride in his play or the outcome.
