I don't understand it...

Honestly, I don't understand what drives people to stay to see the flop 60%, 70%, 80%, or more of the time.  At first I thought, "Damn, these are some lucky bastards getting all the good cards".  Then I quickly realized that they would pay to stay in on ANYTHING.  In the last 24 hours of playing here I KNOW of 16 times that someone stayed in beyond the flop with 8-2 off suit and absolutely nothing on the board to help them.  Obviously these people never play for real money (or at least I have never been fortunate enough to play at a table with them).  In the long run, they will lose "chips" (just as they would lose money), but in the mean time, they screw up the learning experience for people actually trying to learn the game.  Winning with hands that shouldn't have been played at all really isn't winning at all.  It is really a very slow, painful "poker death" that infects everyone at the table who is trying to actually play the game.
