Live play and Player 1 arrives to the table being loud and announcing how good of a player he is because he is a regular in the room.

Player 2 arrives to the table and everyone knows his name and he is even louder than Player 1.  They both claimed to know each other well....fine.

They get into a hand where they are the remaining 2 players on the river.  The river brings the 4th heart on the board.

Player 2 bets OOP and Player 1 just calls with the Ah for the nut flush.  Player 2 shows the Kh and mucks.

I ask if I just witnessed Player 1 NOT raising Player 2 with the stone cold nuts.  The table turns to look at me and Player 1 states that "He would not have called a raise."  I answer that he would have called at least a minimum raise with his 2nd nuts hand.

I ask you….do you think Player 1 would have raised a different player in the hand (maybe me)?

You might think that soft play is just friendly play between people that know each other and there is no harm to other players at the table that are not in the hand.  But what it results in - is half the table NOT playing hard against each other - but just playing hard against me!

Think about it.....and Good luck !
