Poker Snobbery

[GaF]

Anyone else get the feeling that there is a high degree of "snobbery" when it comes to going all in pre flop in poker? There seem to be a high number of players who feel that "they are too good" to go all in (call or raise) pre flop, and they would rather fold than leave it in the lap of the poker gods....Not directed at any PL'rs - just got thinking about it in an STT where a player made the comment "What have you got to do to see a flop around here" when I raised all in from late position after he limped in early position - not a significant raise at the time (average stack was low - 3 or 4 times the BB) and he probably should have been calling with virtually any 2 cards .... but he was just "too good a player" to be taking that chance - obviously these players aren't THAT good, and must be giving away a significant edge by their reluctance to go all in pre flop........

Isn't the answer to that question rather obvious? :lol
