I'm sorry for all the Hand Histories lately, but I figured they would give a little more insight to what I was trying to express. I will calm down on them for now. Um... after this one, OK.

This is just another point to my max buyin post. This sums it up right up. It is a little on the extreme side but you get idea. Both of these guys are sitting at a $25 No Limit table with less than $5. The reason this is bad is because they can't protect their hands. They both get a nice piece of the flop. I'm the aggressor in the hand. They call my PF raise with marginal holdings. I CB the flop and they both go allin. I am totally priced in the hand; I have to call their raises. If either had enough to raise over-top of me properly I am forced to cut my loses and fold my over-card-gut-shot-draw. They both would likely call this a bad beat, but it is one of their own doing.
