Okay. And it's also my experience that you'll only see a play like this on a rare occasion. However, if you read Post #43 you'll see an example of one.
Also, and I could be wrong, but you're describing a game with a lot of tough players. Again, if you were to read the Loose Games section in our book you'll see that we make distinctions when the players are fairly weak, where they are tough, and where they are terrible. And while it's a different example, take a look at page 174 if you have the book handy. You'll see that in this example, our advice for playing when your opponents are tough or terrible is the same, while different for when they are fairly weak.

Is your stance really that every single one of them is wrong and it's impossible that you are, or is it at least possible that the best players in the world are all doing something that is in fact correct?
First of all, I try not to play against the best players in the world. However, I suspect that they may be playing correctly relative to the game they are in which is in most cases a high stakes game where most of the players are tough. That kinda goes along with being one of the best players in the world. And again, this is addressed in the book.
