Can't fold them for fear of multi-way pots. With all the LAGS that play up there you'd miss way too much value folding them.
I think the LAG aspect is a little overblown. In yellow chip for the most part most of the donators are still loose passive, although many of the fishies do get irrationally confident with premium hands. I guess when you are playing 65% of your hands and continuously chasing 4 or 5 outers, when you finally get those Aces you get a little overaggressive/irrationally overconfident in bad spots (ie 6789 boards in multiway pots)
Interestingly to what Kpowers was saying, when I played 5-10 and 10-20 LHE 6max the difference between me (small winner) and the big winners was my river showdown stats too low and my win % at showdown too high, so this is probably true in the live games too, although to a lesser extent, because a good 20-40 LHE today is still much more passive than a good 5-10 LHE 6max was in 2005 (or whenever it was)
Also, I apologize for the off-topic poker talk, but I am banished from all other forums so indulge me a little if you can.
