I sit there playing my solid game, throwing away big hands out of position, tempting type hands that all loosies like to play. Time passes, I wait for the goods, get them, make a move, and some trash hand calls. Usually the odds hold up, but it's the lack of attention to "who's the table rock" that gets me. I'm glad trash called, but where oh where is the respect? I'm sitting there waiting for a hand, and finally when I play, something ridiculous calls me and tries to administer a bad beat. We've all had them, but when you know someones only going to play monsters why do you call with anything less?

The other side of the coin though is beautiful: now I have a license to steal, everyone KNOWS I've got the goods when I play a hand, bluffing is so much easier, the re-raises don't come so often, and now I can sneak in with my own junk and then when I hit with them, what? How will you play against me now?

I guess there's good in all things!
