Re: Why I don\'t tell people I play poker.
A while ago I actually tried explaining how I win money at poker to a group of people. Convo went something like this.
Someone: Isn't it mostly luck though, eventually you will lose
Me: No its more percents. Like flipping a coin is 50/50, but with my skill advantage in poker Its more like 65/35 in my favor.
Someone Else: So you could lose?
Me: Yes
Someone: Have you?
Me: Ofcourse
(disgust looks at me)
Someone: So you could still lose all your money
Me: Well I have enough money saved just for poker that I could handle an unlucky run of cards.
Someone: Ya but you could still lose it all.
(laughter and the group looks at me like I'm an idiot)
Me: (getting angry and wanting to kill everyone in the group) Ya theres a chance I could get in a car accident driving home too! Should I just stay locked in my room?
Nothing is more annoying that a bunch of ignorant people laughing at you. I hate people.
