I felt like I played them both decently, but I keep running into people who are limp calling with good starting hands instead raising them.

It makes me feel like I am taking crazy pills. Everytime I seem to identify someone who does this, another one comes along, and I don't know how to spot it.

If I were dumber I would start thinking that I should be raising with junk and just flatting with Aces. That way I can call small bets with a good hand, and call HUGE bets so I can hit two pair! Yay!
