This is dumb. Life is not a p*ker game and aside from the crappy metaphors, the advice is terrible.

I thought they were great metaphors. But I am one truly manipulative bastard.

And yes, life is a poker game.

It was worth while to see a different way to think about the situation. The idea isn't that bad but in this case its not +EV i dont think.

Did anyone else immediately think pimp and 'ho would be the best costume combo to suggest?

You should never ever make a post like this again.

Gay poker metaphors can [censored] off and die.

I can't think of a worse first date idea off the top of my head.

never ever EVER take a girl to a party unless you're a couple.

EVER EVER.

Got it?

You want to be able to work the room - who knows what opportunites might arise that you would never know about if you're stuck with a chick you barely know, but feel you have to stick by her and not really talk to any other girl because you're on a "date."

A first date should be somplace you can give one another your undiveded attention. Dinner. Bowling. A walk in a park. Whatever.

Besides, you know how common it is for the chick in these situations to hit it off better with some random dude at the party than with you?

This is completely correct.

On another train of thought, this would be the perfect opportunity to put out a 'feeler bet' to see what her intentions towards you are. If you stick her in the worst possible situation (feeler bet), and all she does is rave about how great a time she had (call), she only wants your dough.

If she complains about not knowing anyone and yadda yadda (Pot sized raise), then she may ACTUALLY want to get to know YOU, not your wallet.

Just be prepared to fold or raise all-in on the turn after you get the information you were looking for.

Fold = Cut the 'party date' short and have an awesome backup plan.

Push = Cut her loose with some cab fare and pick up some stray poon.

The "feeler bet/fold to raise" scenario can actually be the best opportunity for a quality relationship. She will think you really want to be with her and please her, by dumping your current plans on the spot and doing something much more romantic and fantastical. It's simply a position raise, but she is tight/passive and will believe you hold a strong hand.

I know this is 6 hrs after this thread has died down. I just want to say that this post is AWFUL, between the advice and the p**** lingo combined.

I want to notify the moderator of this post but I dont need Mat looking at it. [censored] do something about this guy.

Edit: I didnt even see page 2 of this thread to see Dids already post that...Good call
