I like playing hold'em for no money to practice and for fun when there isn't the means to find an actual table for money somewhere, but I find it difficult to actually enjoy a game when there are casual players/non players not taking it seriously to the point where an actual realistic poker environment doesn't exist.
I don't understand how some people can find enjoyment in doing irrational things like going all in every hand pre flop and/or bluffing every single hand.
What is so hard about approaching the game correctly and not throwing caution to the wind just because there is no money at stake? How do you expect to get better like that, and if you don't care about the game or getting better, why even play? Antagonizing other players is a childish form of entertainment if you do it at the expense of your own producctivity.
And before anyone says so, no, I am not losing hands to these players, in the end they lose themselves off of the table, but the point of the rant is that I wish I could enjoy a good game without worrying about checking an obsenely absurd and trollish bet every single turn, it's unrealistic and it takes away from the spirit of the game.
That is all.
