Message: [QUOTE="c9h13no3, post: 1621118, member: 15450"] No one ever says this, but its also an ego boost to help people. Helping someone innately means you're superior to them, at least in that specific area. So yeah, people help others because: 1) It makes them feel good, since they've done a good deed. 2) It makes them feel superior to that person, ego boost. 3) They were helped in a similar way. 4) It helps them become a better player, and understand their own game more. And yes, the games have gotten tougher. I've never played on Party, but I did play on UB back when the poker boom was still going. I remember having discussions with my brother that AJo was an all-in preflop hand in a $2NL cash game, because there were so many idiots shoving so wide. That's not the case anymore. But the games are still plenty soft, mostly because advice will only get you so far. The majority of the people who play poker don't have the ability to execute the advice given to them. [/QUOTE]
