[HOWMANY]

sweetjazz explained it pretty well, I am probably up against these people lifetime but it doesn't seem like it simply because I remember the times they randomly run up a zillion bets from nothing and pay no attention to the times they just busto and quit. I only play 10/20 though so I strongly suspect the rake monster eats enough into the game that it is not a good idea to play people with very few bets.

btw it is not necessarily true that I would have lost more because many times when they have 1-2 bets they will make some pair on the turn or river of a hand they never would have gotten that far in if they were not all in. It's certainly likely that I would have lost a few extra bets more but it's also possible that their short stack lead to running up a big stack that they would not have run up if they never got so short to begin with.
