Default Re: Delighting in Misery

If an old man misreads his hand and declares a flush, I do not delight in his misery.

If a quiet, polite middle aged woman misreads her hand and declares a flush, I do not delight in her misery.

If a humble newbie sits down and misreads his or her hand and declares a flush, I do not delight in his or her misery.

If a gregarious, good-naturedly trash talking man misreads his hand and declares a flush, I do not delight in his misery, though I may give him hell for it for a few minutes.

If a young, hat and glasses wearing, collar-popping, WPT wannabe who thinks he's god's gift to the poker world by his attitude or demeanor misreads his hand and declares a flush, I will attempt to laugh at him inside, but if I outright laugh directly at him, I won't feel bad.
