Do you ever use poker terminology in reference to other things?

I used EV in conversations before playing poker. Sadly.

"Yeah, that's a bad beat" and "drawing dead" are common for me now.

I talk about expected value all the time, but that's an actual term you can apply to real life.

The only term I used mostly, is "all-in". Commonly used when I play magic and when I basically have to sacrifice my board in order to win the game that can be easily disrupted.

As a psychologist, I sometimes use the expression throwing good money after bad when dealing with someone who remains with a loser partner due to "all of the time I've invested in him/her."

In addition, when this same person talks about wanting to remain with this loser because they believe that this person will chage, I talk about the problems when drawing thin or nearly dead.

I haven't played MK64, but I am positive they are rigged in Double Dash. The best way to hit someone with a green shell is not straight on, but to bank it off a wall, because the trajectory of the shell after the bounce changes to be more likely to hit a close-by kart.

Always EV.

And sometimes using terms to decsribe discussions/arguments:
ie. He's weak, you've got to push now

I would use hands to describe women; i.e, she's a AKs or she's a KJo or ooo man, she's a 72o [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

i use ev all the time when discussing anything. i also drop some other poker terminology sometimes when relatively appropriate. i dont go out of my way to encorporate gay poker lingo just to be cool.

Has anyone ever read Bluff magazine? That thing is the worse. They use "the nuts", "pocket rockets", and "All-in" as much as possible.

I described to a friend a girl I picked up late one night as 10,Jack offsuit - about the lowest I would go in very late position.
