Re: Do you hate and despise your opponents?
Of course not, and reading again my post probably hate is the wrong word. Disrespect is a more like it. But now it's too late, everybody thinks I'm a sick sociopath...

That's better. It's healthy to have a certain amount of disrespect for the opponents but not to the extent that you underestimate anyone. At the Orleans at the Thursday night tourny I took an instant dislike to the person next to me, for no other reason than he had an I-Pod, a "Blow Me Donkey" T-shirt and an irritating way of throwing his chips in the pot but to use dislike to try and get the better of him would have been inadvisable. Let this textbook KJo raiser shoot himself in the foot.
If I had true hatred it would suggest at best a tremendous hole in my game and at worst some sort of childhood issues.
