What I Love Most About Poker

Only if I let a real or perceived injustice be an excuse for personal failure am I a victim.

You've spent about 5 posts here trying to make some point that I don't really understand. As far as I can see, you like to play poker and win money at it, same as the rest of us.

Yet you come here and defend the poor victims whom you say poker players exploit. You assert that poker players are truly the "lazy" and "ignorant" among us. You say that poker players take advantage of "hardworking" people and essentially steal their money.

Errr....ok. But you play poker, too ,right? So either you're a hypocrite who somehow thinks that typing a few sympathetic words about the fish from whom you win money somehow mitigates the injustice that you, yourself, assert is being visited upon them or you're a losing player who is bitter about his fate.

Either way, pal, you really aren't worth my time.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some strategy posts to read; afterwhich I'll make my way to the tables, laughing maniacally and steepling my fingers like Mr Burns as I rake each pot. I can only pray that my winnings come from a women's shelter director off on a bender due to the pressure of government budget cuts courtesy of George W Bush's and his tax cuts for the rich.

I'm thinking I'll invest my winnings in oil. Big Oil.

Excellent...

Socialism: The ideology of the lazy and the college student brainwashed by their professors.

If only there were some tax cuts. We pay 40 percent overall in state, federal and local taxes. Social Justice=Keeping what you earn

The Myers-Briggs is a bogus test without validity or reliability. It also is not normed. Like astrology, some of the conclusions may happen to correspond with your life though.

I'll spell it out in short words, so that even you can understand it:

When you complained about "whiners", you were whining.

You put down "victims" while simultaneously complaining about being victimized.

You ignorantly and lazily railed against laziness and ignorance.

In short, you are the person you are complaining about.

That's projection, in a nutshell.

People make this argument on every internet forum there is. They are all, without exception, ignorant douches.

What do I love about poker:

Hmmm...

1) Rolled up Aces over Kings
2) Check raising stupid tourists and taking huge pots of them
3) Playing all night, high limit hold-em at the Taj, where the sand turns to gold.

That's what I love about poker.

Ahhh....I see. The old "I'm rubber you're glue" argument.

Whooohoo! Projection! What a smartie!!!!
