Default Re: You know you play too much poker if...

When you take a break from poker if you are on downswing, you are relaxing by watching HSP,WSOP, WPT etc ,reading NVG and BBV and playing live with your poker buddies for small stakes.
You go swimming, and while you do laps you think about the hands from last night and when you are resting, you are reading some new poker book you just got from the FPP store.
Also, aba released a new cardrunners video, so you have to watch that as well.

And for laughs you just rewatch that TonyG - Ralph Perry video, while saying all the lines with him, like "Can you feel my power, baby?".Or watch any of the classic Hellmuth tantrums.

So after a week of "taking a break from poker" you are all rested and ready to grind again.

PS - i am actually gonna watch some TonyG video right now.

While you masturbate you fantasize about winning huge pots.

you're spacing out while someone is talking and then you're like "what? was that about poker?"

Any time you're sitting at a table with other people you keep looking up to see who's turn it is to act

The best made up one.

In terms of real ones, saying good things in the real world are "the nuts" or "+EV" and having people look at your weird. Standard.

You know you play too much poker if... it's 4:30am, you have work in 3 hours and you are nowhere near quitting the tables because you are still stuck 3.5 buy-ins... [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

When your car starts on fire after you've been driving drunk, you don't want another DUI and sent to jail so you just quickly get out of your car, start leaving the scene and take one last glance at your car and think "bad beat".
