Arggghhhh I'm tilting right now.

My PS3 got the red flashing lights of death, and I haven't even had it for 3 days yet.

System refuses to turn on, won't even let me eject the disc inside.

I don't think I've played a video game since I started playing poker.

I can't play poker all day anyway so playing video games in my spare time won't hinder my earning potential.

How do you guys respond to this bet? I have no stats on this guy, and his bet sizing leads me to believe he is a random donk. But, I don't really like calling off a stack with one pair when we didn't get a whole lot in preflop.

OTOH I can't imagine anybody playing a set this way. So I'm torn.
