-Poker isn't always glamorous, it is hard work to become a disciplined good player and very stressful. Poker gets boring too
-EVERYONE that plays on a regular basis thinks they're good at poker
-I don't want to hear about your poker stories/bad beats, i've heard a million of them, they are pretty much all boring. Most of the time i'm just listening enough to feign empathy |
Awsome post. I spend my weekends at Commerce Casino here in Cali. (world's largest poker casino)
The last one is definately true. All the new players want to tell their bad beat stories. Trust me, if you've played for a while you've seen it all and honestly, no one gives a shit. That is one of the reasons I started bringing my mp3 player, but I haven't pulled it out of my pocket yet because the rest of the conversation is usually filled with good nuggets of info.

Never show your hand unless you have to.
-
Never talk about your strategy and betting patterns at the table (surprising how many ppl don't know this)
