I think it has more to do with the "community" of the card room. If you saw a known 2+2er you probably wouldnt fold him out as quickly as possible. ... Unless its Sossman or MLG.

My guess is they are much more likely to decay someone if the stakes are high and they don't know their opponent.

In general, the more serious players are more unpleasant people made bitter from years of missing the flop and getting sucked out on.
Easier to pass a character test for a small amount of money. It's easier to maintain your integrity when the amount does not alter your income for the year substantially.
It's easy to treat people badly online, because the consequences are small and you have more anonimity.

I think the answer here is fairly obvious. If you want to get laid, give up poker and become a priest.

I feel like defending priests.
Believe it or not most priests are very nice ppl. Priests are really underated, hey so maybe the 0,01% of them are pervs, I really respect someone who for once in a while decides that making as much money as possible isnt his life project.priest arent stupids, they know a lot of philosophy and teology, for instance jesuits study over 10 years to become priest .I think god is just as real as santaclaus but I love my jesuit school and Im really happy there.
So more respect for priests !!!! [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
Anyway waiting for the other guy is retarded.

Like another poster that responded earlier, I take the middle ground: steal his blinds, but wait until nearly the last possible moment to do so.

What role, exactly, does being a poker player play in the getting laid part?....I'm pretty sure that I'm the only poker player alive that produce testimony to the fact that getting laid (by 3 different women) was the DIRECT result of being a poker player

Lets see, you said:

and I'm saying that you don't have to give up poker to get laid.

I'm glad we cleared that one up.
