Re: Are all poker players degenerates?
Why label people as one extreme or the other. The way I look at it, most successful players are probably somewhere in between degenerate and party animal. If you're the former, then it would stand to reason you'd be less skilled at reading people; your intuition wouldn't be as sharp as an outgoing person, so you'd lack a key component of being a winning player. If you're the latter, you probably hate reading poker books, and would rather go get wasted off a half gallon of captain morgan's and have sex with chicks that appear to be sexy in your drunken state but are fat in reality, but as long as you don't know and nobody else knows you hit it then hey you're fine with it.
