And also afraid of losing what edge they have .. and hoarding the knowledge they have.
I played in a private 10/20 limit mix game last night and there is one guy that falls asleep during the session and plays about 6 hands in 5 hours. When he plays a hand it's basically turned over. When I can, I like to 3bet to isolate and try to outflop him. I love turning over KQ99 for the scoop.
He is the quintessential lazy, unimaginative nit. He thinks that there is a right way to play, and that's it. Obviously, this can be exploited, but some people think that there is only so much thinking to this game and that it can basically be played by rote.
IMO a lot of people play this way online too and rack up their FPPs and don't think much more about the game. A lot of our regs do this. (The best don't.) IMO these are the people who are most afraid of other people learning how *easy O8 is. They are afraid of losing the *edge that they obtained so easily.
This is a core question -- whether O8 can be substantially *solved. I think I'll open a new thread.
