Chip Tricks Rant

[UATrewqaz]

95% of the reason alot of "new" players play poker is because they can live out some trite fantasy of being a high stakes, ultra cool poker hustler.

Thus the sunglasses/hood/chip shuffling/staredowns at the 2/4 limit hold em table.

In other words they aren't playing for the poker or even to win money. It's like baseball fantasy camp, only with Poker.

Basically they are playing make-believe.... which is fine because players like this, however annoying, rarely play good poker.
