The funny thing was, I was not even involved in the hand, but it tilted me so much, it really affected my game for the next hour, and in fact, probably through the time I busted.

Re: I hate my opponents
I used to hate them but now i don't even view them as human beings. They are just blobs of flesh with tiny brains spewing chips. What was once contempt is now just a vague, detatched sense of pity.
