reason: as you say ripptyde, fear. I wont hesitate at that level now to throw my chips around like its fun money if the right moment comes along.. At the higher games i cant do it quite the same way yet. But i' m getting there.
too often i see people saying that they put someone on a certain hand, and they have that hand beat.. and yet they fold. ?? Fear.
I prefer the term discipline, and it's a two way street. Consider: FTR Vegas single re-buy tourney, Xianti twidles with some chips UTG and finally raises for something innocent like 3x after clearly thinking about it for 3 or 4 seconds. Folded to me and I muck AQo from the SB because I'm certain enough I'm either flipping a coin or dominated out of position. Too many players just can't lay it down when they know they're beat often enough that they can't call because of an irrational fear of laying down the better hand.
