Everyone hates the winner

I guess I'm a luck player. Preflop raising is a fools bet and I watch for it. I'll call with a 6 7 offsuit if I feel lucky. And if the flop comes up numbers the preflop raiser now has to try and buy the pot. This makes that "should have folded" hand pay off big.
If you think I'm crazy then watch and see how often the first to raise preflop loses or tries to buy the pot. Its also amazing how many think that they "deserved" that pot and how dare you take it away. I just got tired of folding my cards just because someone has a facecard and raised preflop. The above strategies work for me and now that I'm no longer just a donater but instead an occasional winner I've noticed my popularity has waned.
Hey, it's nothing personal, just poker.

I understand what you are saying. I would like to know what you do when you have a nice strong pocket pair and raise preflop and get called by a garbage hand. Are you the one to get upset?
A lot of people that are luck players seem to be the ones who get the most upset when they get cracked by a junk hand.
Just this girls opinion. Good Luck on the tables.

Yep yep. They will play a2 like its the nuts and act like you were a criminal by beating them with 56 off.

It is funny the people who think they are god's gift to poker and act like little kids when they lose. A8 vs K8... flop 4K8 rainbow. No raise preflop so I figured there was no set and at worst i was looking at a chop. I make a small bet, they raise me 20X.... enough to put me allin. I figure with the board I like my chances (top 2 is a good place to make that call).... then they call me a donkey suckout fish..... it was one of the funniest things ever. And this person lives on the $2 sngs at AP/vp247 and still thinks they are a god.
