You know your an internet poker geek when....
 
-You own more ".com" shirts than regular clothes.

-You have name plate at your home desk, where your multi-monitor setup is.

-You drive blasting "I'm Bill Fillmaff" in the car CD player.

-2+2 is your homepage

-Whenever you hear the word "devestation" you secretly giggle.



What else?

I posted a while ago about shuffling chips while playing. I chose to refer to myself as as a dork rather than a geek. Is there a difference?

You know you're an internet SUPER-geek when you feel the need to correct people's grammar in an online forum.

The word "Internet" should be capitalized in your post.

When you are reading all-in magazine you come across a picture of Phil Ivey at home, playing poker.

The thing that impresses you the most is that he has the same Gyration keyboard and mouse as you do!!

* Darn … cannot find the online photo*

- When trying to pick up a girl is like going all in on a gutshot draw. You used to have the nuts..

Which reminds me..
- when you use poker terms in ordinary language, see above

you base non-poker decisions on whether it's +EV or not

When you refer to a mail in rebate as rakeback.

when you wake up early so you can get in a few hands before work while the car warms up.

When you rush home every day for lunch because you "Have to let the dogs out" and squeeze in 75 hands of 6 max while they do their business. And don't even eat lunch.

I was stoked when Samsung still paid me my full $100 in rakeback for my 213 - I had just cleared the digital camera bonus.

I actually refer to most everything as rake back. The JavaHouse points for a free coffee, lecture notes being posted online, any physical affection from a girl...

-when you dream about poker
-when you play poker in your classes on your wireless-connected laptop
-when you bring your wireless laptop to the bathroom with you to take a crap because you are four-tabling
-when you call someone on bullshitting in one of your grad classes and mutter "wtfOWNED" to yourself

When you and your online poker playing friends talk about prices in terms of big bets. For example, "that was a great deal...a full meal at Red Lobster for only 3 BBs!"

Re: You know your an internet poker geek when....
 
-when you start calling people "donks" IRL

When the only one of these doesn't describe you =\

You have discussions involving in why you love Stud8 despite it not being as "sexy" as hold`em.....with yourself.

When the only reason you go to work is because they have a dedicated T3 line and low traffic.

When the internet goes down at your house so you drive 80mph to your office to finish out your tourney while on the phone with your buddy screaming at him during the drive wondering if it has come back and if he has been able to play a hand.

When after driving up to your office at 1am to finish your tourney you take your laptop into the bathroom with you and use a stolen ID/password to access the Wi-Fi at the neighboring building because your office is too cheap to go wireless.

You consider going to GA after taking a horrible series of losses.....to rebuild your bankroll.

When you wake up in a cold sweat after having a nightmare about a badbeat.

When you suggest that back in school you needed @ least 60% to pass a class and that GA should apply the same standards meaning that your 11 Yes answers are still perfectly healthy.

I think mine have surpassed geek into psychological issues from poker....if it wasn't for the easy money I'd quit and check into GA. However it is easy money, so I still stand by GA moving to a 60% qualifying mark and that are just desperate for memebers.

Anytime someone does something that you would have done differently you reply with, "I would of raised me on the turn"
