Default Losing Weight Is Like Playing Poker

I think people on here could appreciate the analogy. Of course, you may also be in a better position to tell me why I am wrong. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Ironically, making poker analogies on this site tends to make people hate you very quickly.

Note: I haven't clicked the link and read the article.

Really, hate? Not much I can do about that I guess. I'll go back in my cave.

Well, hate might be a strong word. Wasn't trying to be an ass or discouraging, just giving you a warning for the future. Some people on this site will rip you a new one if you try to analogize real world situations to poker.

No reason to go back in your cave though. Stick around, read, ask questions, post thoughts. Just remember to read FAQs and try searching and try to be somewhat familiar with what is asked constantly so we don't clog up the board with the same topics over and over again.

{edit} I say all this assuming you're pretty much brand new to the forums.

Poker analogies are so bad. So bad.

Sorry.

Making poker analogies on 2+2 is kinda analogous to telling bad beat stories at the poker table. No one likes it.
