Default Signs You Play Too Much Poker...(low content)

A post in the OOT forum inspired this thread. A guy, not talking about poker at all, said that he went on tilt in real life...so:

Signs You Play Too Much Poker:
Referring to getting angry, regardless of the situation, as tilting.
When taking out credit card to pay for anything, you flick it perfectly under the hand of the cashier.
Referring to good things, like foods or movies, as the nuts.

What are some others?

I have friends (at work no less!) who 'go all-in' on things like restaurant suggestions for lunch.

"Yo, anyone wanna go to Wendy's?"
"Yeah, dog, I'm all-in on Wendy's!"

Holy [censored]!

I think that's a sign they watch too much poker on TV and/or play too much small buy in home game tournaments.

Sweet....

Mine would be flipping my menu perfectly on top of the "muck" after ordering at a restaurant. Or...when it is my turn to order, I look left first.

when sitting in class sometimes i find myself thinking intently on previous hands. i can notice myself blink during these times. i'm sure if anyone looked at me (luckily i'm hideous and unappealing to the average viewer) they could probably see i was concentrating very hard.
sometimes when the hand gets really intense, i put on my sunglasses.

So...what you're saying is that you have a tell when you're about to order? I've got that in my notes now. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
