You went to a poker game with no money, presumably with the intent to borrow money to play? On top of that you didn't play very much, apparently quit when up after not much play, and just ate the food, talked to chicks and played on the computer? Man I don't know you at all but my first impression is that you are a giant douche.

Translation: you do things other than poker that I don't know how to do, like talk to girls, enjoy food and enjoy games other than poker. Therefore, I'll call you a douche to help me feel better about my insecurities.

2+2, where the douchebags always come out of the woodwork.

Jeff, I don't know how to read your commment. At first I thought it was a satirical pointing out of assumption-making... but the last comment seemed OTT.

While Zetack inferred and reached a bit, I think that was within accceptable assumption-range, given the OP's various replies.

Ok, maybe I should simplify - you went to play in a poker game and brought no money ... you strike me as a big douche.

Notice that this is my first impression of you. Perhaps you are really a great guy. But if you showed up to my game and, and abused my hospitality in such a fashion, you would't get a second opportunity to show me that.

Also, FYI, your translation skills suck.

LOL, MY skills suck? You don't even know who you're responding to, do you? LOL

Who is he to tell someone how much poker to play, what food to eat, and how many girls to talk to? And then call him a "douche" for doing so? It's apparent who the "douche" was in that exchange.

LOL, apparently not. Which is why I don't go around making silly translations...too much possibility of egg on the face. Nevertheless, I think my points stand, even if directed at the wrong parties.

As to your futher point to LL:

Don't forget his wanking at the computer (ok I inferred the wanking part).

I don't care how much of any of that he does ordinarily. But if I host a game and provide food and beverages, and some guy I don't know shows up, say's hey, "can I play...um, and can I borrow money cause I ain't got money?" And then hits and runs except that instead of actually running he sits out and eats my food, and plays on my computer, and uses the whole thing as a social oportunity with the eye candy...

Well, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it, but I would file that guy away in the big douche folder, and might mention to the friend that brought him that he might want to leave him at home next time.

If you find that kinda thing ok, I'm not going to get worked up about it. Quite frankly, if he shows up with cash in his pocket, gets up $50 bucks and says, hey I just feel off my game tonight, or whatever, I'm ok with the other stuff. But it still stumps me that you can show up at a game with no money unless you hold somebody's marker that's coming. Particularly when you're new to the game.

But lets not make a bigger deal out of this than it is, just one more douche walking around imo, he is legion.

--Zetack

Edit -- looking at his post, I inferred from the not knowing how much to bring that he was new to the game, but he doesn't actually say so. Perhaps he's a regular, with good credit at the game. That wouldn't be so bad, although I'm still not wild about people playing on credit.
