Default a definition please.

I limp with 10,10.....flop has a pair of tens. How nice! I slow play them, calling the guy with two pair on the turn. He boats on the river....costs him all.
he types in " BS as usual"
We know it was not "bs" but just the luck of the cards. but somehow he seems to have taken it personally.
so my question from a psycholgy perspective, is what is the term for his perspective.
Around here we call it a 'bad brain', but that probably isn't technically correct.
and he is not alone out there, as you all know. so, question two, what is the term for this sub-culture?

Sub-culture name? Can't think of a good catch all.
But this is the group of people that prefer not to accept personal responsibility for their actions. It cannot be their fault they lost and they must find a whipping horse. You and your slow-playing fooled 'em. Since they cannot wear the mantle of fool, you must be to blame. Let them steam and if you run them off your table, they might be coming to mine.

It is a person who donīt take blame for himself and creates excuses for his own mistakes. I donīt really know how to name someone that lies to himself, and do it aloud.

Default Confucius.

"When you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it; this is knowledge." -Confucius

"When you do not know a thing, to call it BS; this is being an overconfident egomaniac." -TripleH

I'll give you the same advice I give all my girlfriends:

"Remove the Bush".
