Of course those suckouts are not fun, however those people are the number one reason I play online poker. You cannot say you wish everyone played like a pro, or even smart. It's all about expected value and variance... if they chase a gutshot straight draw, when you bet half the pot or more, you will definately win more than your fair share.

You know what makes me laugh? Those guys who play with their chips like it is a fucking video game.

I do this
It's not because I'm trying to be "cool" or impress anyone, its because keeping yourself busy hides tells. If I try to sit there doing nothing, I will have subtle tells that good players will pick up on; if I always make sure I am shuffling chips every single hand -- it distracts my body from giving out those possible tells.
