No, they're not. Play, both on-line and IRL, is as hideous as ever. The [I]vast[/I] majority are strictly recreational players hoping to get lucky and willing to chalk up losses as the price of entertainment. When they're not sitting at the table, they think about Poker like never.

Still a distinct minority of players, the vast majority of whom think "range" is where the deer and antelope play, and "equity" has something to do with real estate. If they understood starting hands they wouldn't always be letting the timer run while trying to figure out if their hand is worth a play. They wouldn't be open limping out of the #1 hole with trashy hands like (Qd, 7d).

"A lot of players recognize draw vs. Over pair and aren't afraid to ship it on the draw..."

A lot of those players have a garbled understanding of this. I've seen them do this with naked draws and even draws as weak as gut shots without one overcard to the highest pair on the board. They pay [I]a lot[/I] for their folly. Some combo draws can have more equity than a TP hand, even TPTK, but those aren't naked straight and flush draws.

There is a lot of information available, but if you don't use it properly, it does more harm than good.
