Why Do People Love Draws?
Background info: I have been playing very TAG and this guy really has no RESPECT for any reraises you might throw in his way. He loves his open ender's and will call off all of his chips, he did this earlier with the 1st hand below which I really didn't mind because he could have finished me off there not risking all of his chips, but then his 2nd call was annoying. He was a min betting donkey and would overbet the river if he had any decent hand. I just wanted the 2nd hand below to be shipped my way, I obviously dont mind his call, but I do mind it when he hits and its one of my ACES that HIT!

All I want is some reassurance that this is not an optimal profitable play, I know the answer but I just want to hear it from the experts. I maybe am folding open enders when I should be calling all in's, because 8 outs do hit 50%+.
Sorry ya'll just venting.
