What fascinates me is watching the big guns at Pacific (on occasion) when they come down to the $10 tables...guys raising Q2o from EP, then potting the flop and turn with bottom pair and just being smooth-called - what's that? They hit trip deuces on the river - overbet the pot - top two pair AJ is still calling them and they lucked out!
I just don't comprehend the play, and damned if I don't call them the luckiest fish/LAG I've seen. Maybe I'm just watching them on a good day - raising every 4-5th hand or so no matter position, betting no matter the board until the end when they either have something to take advantage of, or don't - and generally taking proper advantage of scare cards etc.

Watching these guys makes me feel like I have no balls for the game long-term...I'm happy making my reasonable BR building earnings at my game...but I certainly would like to be able to really rake it in like these guys do when they get lucky, which sure as hell seems like a lot!

Best of luck!
you just don't see the trillions of fish that come in, lose, and leave the table. You see and remember the fish sitting on a 5x buyin having sucked out majorly and then gotten paid off with his AA.
