Re: At what point do you not call from the BB pre-flop?

2) When you refuse to gamble in spots like this, even the bad players notice and refuse to pay you off as much as they do others. they will still give you a bet here and there when dominated, but they certainly won't just pay off with the more marginal stuff others seem to make from them. The best players know how to become one of the guys, and in turn get paid off. He went on to say that's why he and others like him walk away from great games with a ton of chips, and others simply had marginal scores.

I would not be surprised if Ray said something like this. I would be very surprised if this is still applicable to today's games. In the games I play in, people just don't give a rat's ass. They are like "okay, lets crack the tight guys aces" and 6 people coldcall anyway when I raise the first hand in 2 hours.
