Re: Ok guys. Admit it. Poker is NOT cool.

Depends what you are after. If you want a relationship then you may as well come out and just tell her you are a poker player. If you lie or mislead her then when she finds out she won't be very...

Re: Three types of people

This looks like a really bad motivational speech to me. One of those ones that I sleep through when we get them at work.

Re: I\'m done too. Nobody cares. Nobody read. (vent)
