Hello. My name is Magnetic Skull and I am an open folder.
It started about 2 years ago. Everyone was checking and as a protest to their obvious lack of cards, I folded. Since then I have become addicted...

I do it to confuse good players and conserve mental resources.

Why think too hard about a crap hand when I can rest and move on to the next one?
Especially live, it really seems to upset people's concentration...Works really well on "table captains" or solid, otherwise unshakeable players (especially "math" players).

Look at all the time you folks took to talk about it...
That in itself makes it worthwhile. Best way I could possibly spend my 2 7 off (barring a miracle flop).

But seriously I only do it like 1/50 BB hands. Or sometimes If I make a steal attempt that gets obviously(?) caught by a slowplaying monster.
Or when the board four flushes and it's still a multiway pot and I don't have a suited card...

Flame if you must. Long term, I think it's +EV. (for me)
Part of what passes for table discipline.
