If you don't think you're actually *all* that much better than your opponents postflop (which, unless you are at ****** filled tables, is probably closer to the actual truth of the matter than some of us would like to admit), or if you genuinely find these spots where stacks are being played for ASAP with mediocre hands difficult, then you probably won't welcome these spots as much.

we're so much better than our opponents postflop it's embarrassing...
- they overvalue top pair and overpair hands
- they don't understand the humongous difference between 1 card vs 2 cards for the nutz
- they think you're making a move if you raise 3 out of 4 hands
- they have no idea what boards are good for cbet bluffs
- they undervalue position
- they chase non-nutted draws like it's their job
- they think you're picking on their big blind (or small blind or button)
- they think you can soul read them
- some of them are tell-boxes
- they are variance fish
- they believe in lucky streaks, hot seats, and favorite hands
- they don't keep track of the pot size
- they don't know how to calculate pot odds
- they wouldn't know what to do with pot odds info
- they raise 6x pre and wonder why they only won 4 bux with their rockets
- they play fit/fold
- they don't know what floating means
- they don't know what a scare card is
- they often click buttons, especially on the river
- many of them never ever ever bluff
- they don't know how to range
- they put you on a hand
- they show their cards
that's off the top of my head, I'm sure I'm missing plenty
