How do you morally rationalize preying solely on the gullible and insecure?

What do you do about the people who call just to 'prove' that psychics are fake?

Another one, that actually happened yesterday was a guy who tried to scam me. They get a minute or two free before I'm actually hired, and they have to take another step to hire me. This guy was trying to pretend that he hired me when I would get very specific confirmation if he had. He wanted to know where his relationship was going, so I told him that his girlfriend was cheating on him and already gave him syphillus. After he freaked out, I told him I just made it up and not to [censored] with a psychic.

I try to weed them out before I'm actually hired, Id say I probably get a couple a week, I've gotten people deliberately throwing curveballs, but no one who flat out lied about their situation or anything like that.

I think the calls that are the most fun are the one's where you can really wow someone with your "psychic ability". The ones where I get to pull out a bunch of different tricks and techniques because the person's really receptive and I happen to make a lot of lucky guesses. For example, a quick excerpt transcript from a call the other day.

ME: The first thing I'm seeing is a man with dark hair, and a tattoo. And something about mid-november, the 14th or 15th, or it might be closer to the end of the month. That date is significant.
Her: oh my god! My husband has dark hair and a tattoo, and our anniversary is nov. 18th!

After that, the call is totallly easy because they're completely convinced.Typically with a statement like that I'm hoping to hit on dark hair, a tattoo OR november, when all 3 hit, it makes things super easy.

Why don't you tell me why I'm on a poker site?

I was unaware of the correlation between insecurities and bad poker players.

You are taking advantage of gullible people when playing poker, and a lot of these people project a very strong tough guy ego, which just means they are insecure. There is really little difference at all between the two, Jack.
