what the fuck was this guy thinking?

People always say they like playing No Limit because "you can bet and get them to fold their draws". Speaking about cash games - you do NOT want them to fold their draws. You want them to call on their draws when you bet enough that it is not profitable for them to call long-run.

Yes, after the hand plays out and they hit their draw - you wish they would have folded - but that is just your reaction to a bad result.

Same with limit. Take the hand in question in this string. Lets pretend that the opponent showed his cards face up. Hawt made the bet and the opponent said - "Here is what i have, what do you want me to do, call or fold?" I am HOPING Hawt - and any other sane person - would say "By all means, call!". If you want him to fold - then how do you expect to make any money? He has FOUR outs. Are you playing just to steal blinds and make a few small pots on contination bets, even when you flop trips with top kicker?

Do you want them to always fold when they have the worst hand and only call you when they have you beat?
