I hate poker players

[Alobar]

Since im one for broad generalizations and sweeping comments, heres another one. Poker players are the biggest assholes in the world.

I'm playing a live NL tourny lastnight and Im at a table full of idiots wearing sunglasses talking to anybody who will listen about what the correct way to plat the last hand would have been. The expression "I had you on..." is said every 8.2 seconds with an authoritative air. I dont think anything is actually said that doesnt involve directly or inderectly berating someone. Every story that gets told is about some idiot who overcalled 2 all ins with bottom pair, and how could anyone be so stupid???

I play online and its nothing but whining and berating and [censored] talking. If I can find a table that doesnt have a table coach or some idiot who has to type in "OMG, you are the luckiest f.uck, you a ssho le!!!!11!!1" after every hand, its a miracle.

I read these forums and its full of cocky fucks who think because they can make X dollars an hour, they somehow know something about life, or that they are better than all the people who can't.

I hate the fact that I find myself acting like all these assholes. Its like this contagious disease, I have to keep reminding myself that I'm not superior to the retarded WPT fanboy at my table just because he collects issues of card player and reads Daniel Negreaunu's blog, and has to use the term "implied odds" everytime he tells someone how they played a hand wrong. I hate typing some backhanded witty comment in the chat window like "well played!" just because some guy who plays for fun called 3 bets cold with 95o and rivered 2 pair on me. I hate that I cant make it through more than 5 minutes of celebrity poker while watching TV with my GF, because havng to watch people who cant play poker, makes me want to vomit blood.

It's a [censored] card game!!!!!
