I fucking hate losing to morons.

That's one thing I really liked about the no limit game, the quality of the players was much better.
In the low limit 3-6 or 4-8 games your pocket aces only hold up about a third of the time because 5 idiots stay in until the river...you can't scare them off.
In the no limit game you can bet enough to protect your hands pre-flop or on the flop so people throw the gutshot draws and runner runner flush draws away.
In my first hour at the table I watched a guy muck pocket jacks face up when the flop came KQ7 and someone made a big bet.
Then another guy mucked pocket aces face up into a $500 pot when three clubs came on the flop and the other player moved all in. (It was a good fold too, the other guy had AQ of clubs)
You'd never see hands like that get mucked in a low limit game.
