In Texas Holdem, why do people get really angry about raising really high before the flop, do you think I should feel bad about doing this?

Because players fear the risk of loosing their entire stack of chips if they call you! But you don't have to feel culprit to be an agressive player!

It's proper protocol to raise whatever the blind is. If the blind is $2,000, you should just raise $2,000.

Often it is because a tight player will finally get a playable hand such as QK suited but if someone raises high preflop he knows that he is probably beat, and in many cases dominated by AK, AQ, or AA KK. So they have to much their hand rightly so and wait another hour for another playable hand. Tight players get eaten up by sharks. Much of poker is knowing your opponent and how he will react to your raises with any given hand.

Fear, I call it strategy.

I don't know why people would get angry about it, but you certainly shouldn't feel guilty about it.

You shouldn't feel guilty, unless you're raising EVERY single hand pre flop. If you're using the right strategies, no one should feel angry .. that's how poker goes ..
-
Only if you always raise before the flop, and then check when the cards are on the board. That gets annoying, because then the other players know you're just raising for the hell of it.

The game of poker is a game of skill. People get angry because by overbetting the pot you are essentaly turning the game into a crap shoot. People with hands they would like to play such as 8-8 will most likely fold and become very frustrated because whatever cards you have you might just get lucky and win no matter what you have.

agressive though it is, it is a working strat when gambling and if you can do well with it dont stop.
