no one is ragging on anything.

the point, which i think foxwoodsfiend made pretty well, is all about HOW you are going to play the hand.

in a bubble, checking behind with 36s when there are 4 to a straight and a paired board is not that bad.

however, if you are going to raise 36s and flop a monstrous hand, playing it this passively and not making strong value bets is criminal. that's not to say playing more conservatively isn't all right, but then you should not not not be raising 36s.
