Re: Sklansky refers to Poker as \'a life of quiet desperation\'? Why?
No one cares about you, or your results. Everyone is out to get you at the table. When you're down on your luck no one believes you, and assumes you're a losing player. Anytime you meet a new person you have to go through the akward what do you do spiel, etc.
That's what I think at least for myself. However, most of these things are true regardless of your profession.
