Things non 2+2\'ers/Ballers/Poker Players Say That Tilt You
This is semi-inspired by private joker's thread about the donk on his airplane trip.
I love it when people who have no idea about professional/serious gambling attempt to have a conversation with me about it when they just say such inane things. Crap like "zomg gambling is risky lol" or "you can't lose what you don't put in the middle." I think my most hated is "but how much did you lose?" lol or "so I heard you played poker today? So-and-so told me you had a bad day?" Then I'll respond with something like "oh, I dropped about 5 buyins today in some coolers and some questionable plays by myself, so around $1000. But in anycase I'm not worried about it because it was a small sample size and I think my table selection skills are impr-" "OMG 1000 bucks!!!!!1! Dude that's alot of money! You sure you don't have a gambling problem?" me: ".....uh-mazing." BBV, what phrases/questions which average joejanedonks use tilt you the most? These people can be close friends, your wife, or total strangers. Doesn't matter. Trip reports would be nice too. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Whoa you tell people about losing $1000? I tell people when I have really small winning or losing days, like $200, they still freak out

In any case it's annoying but it's interesting viewing people's behavior on the concept of betting "a lot of money". The thing is I shared those views of money myself a long time ago. |

"If I won $XXXX, I'd quit forever and buy Y." [/ QUOTE ] i seriously hate this one. how do you guys avoid telling people how much money you lose, when they see you play? like some of my friends (not that close) visit and they see me play and be like zomg so much money, is that forreal? I tell them that for every 100$, it's one real dollar, so they don't freak out, but not all of them are that dumb. my move? |

This thread has happened like 230232820 times before, but the people asking me if they can give me 20 and hand them 100 a week later are annoying. And I'm not close to making any kind of serious money either. I only made like $200 last month.
