[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7603407, member: 22779"] Oh, sure, and I have certainly seen more than a few dysfunctional players and tables. But, isn't true. Or, at least, it's isn't always true. There are more than enough players out there that aren't interesting en eking out some advantage all the time. It might take a bit of hunting to find them, but, by and large, they are out there in pretty decent numbers. And, frankly, I think this comes down to a maturity thing at the table. (not age, maturity - they are different) Players who play long enough tend to work their way through the whole "I must get every advantage" thing after a while, particularly if they get shown another way of playing. In a group that always power games, sure, they probably won't change much. But, in a group where authority gets spread around and, if the group enjoys that sort of thing, folks tend to settle down quite a bit and start taking a little broader view of the game rather than singular focus on their character.
