What the hell is wrong with people?
In Anson Paape’s card game, the rules required the player with the worst hand to do far more than fold.
The loser had to spin the chamber of a revolver, point it at the person to their right and pull the trigger.
The four teens playing with the Elmhurst man thought his gun wasn’t loaded. They watched in horror when Paape demonstrated otherwise.

Well, the one thing you gotta say is that once involved in a hand the implied odds clearly dictate calling all the way to the river.

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.

I wrote about this on my blog two or three years ago, with much the same sentiment as your “what the hell is wrong with people?”. I got a shit-ton of comments from people who knew the kid lambasting me, not understanding that I wasn’t skewering the kid, but the adult. Very strange.
