Eri sounds like a smart guy who probably gets laid constantly.

of course, this is also correct

i take money from fat people because they are addicted to the chocolate i sell. i feel bad about it and have decided to give more to charity whilst warning customers of the dangers by wearing a tshirt saying 'im great at poker' on the front

If you think poker is a cesspool that breeds misery, you would be correct

Nobody that plays poker regularly is an overall happy/contented human being

But I believe this can be manipulated by volunteer work and charity. I think the overall malaise is just because they all know they're contributing nothing to society and they don't get satisfaction from their work. Solution? Volunteer work and charity?

Dunno I guess I will see

Soup kitchens and homeless people in my future

i havent read through the topic, so its probably off topic (i read the first post only), but: I FUCKING HATE POKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Wouldn't it be the ultimate irony if I ended up serving soup to a homeless man that bankrupted his family at 2/4 NL.

It's their choice to play poker.
It's their choice to risk their rent money.
It's their choice to gamble away their life savings.

A lot of people are perfectly responsible with their money and also play poker.

It's not my fault if some idiot loses his rent money.

Seems to change people a bit.

wtf poker rules and people losing money at poker is no different from them losing money at slot machines or other table games. they pay for entertainment and a chance to win some money. there is an inherent -EV aspect to playing slot machines, because the odds are unfavorable compared to the payouts. There is also an inherent -EV aspect to playing poker because of the rake and the presence of profitable players. whatever, it's sad that people gamble away money they shouldn't gamble with, but it's not morally wrong that they do so, nor that we win it from them.

also, to whoever said poker players aren't happy...wtf? i'm the happiest i've been in my entire life since i started playing poker seriously. poker is awesome and if it doesn't make you happy then.....that's weird because it's good, easy money you can make by playing a fun game LOL how much happier do you want to be?

poker killed my father

and raped my mother!

this thread reminds me of the catch phrase for trying to get online poker banned
"they are clicking mouses and losing houses!"

Dont get me wrong I love poker in a sense but I do hate it and realize the damage im causing other people.

After every time I stake someone, I Butcher a cow and drink its blood to that persons good fortune.

i h8 myself now

It change nothing there is and always will be gambling, what is deference if somebody loose money to better player or to other gambler. If there would be no poker they would waste money on machines, power ball or other form of gambling, if small % of people can't control and got addicted help them not change hole world into boring place whit nothing that can harm you. The only thing that poker player can feel bad about is that he delivers nothing to other people (in his job), maybe one of the reasons why some want to help other poker players, write books to feel contribution.

LMAO
is this topic serious?

I can not stop laughin...but getting serious and my thoughts on this:

That guy who gambles his rent money and puts himself into financial trouble by gambling... deserves to loose every $ and I hope he goes broke in a slow painful way...

Its his choice, i just hope if he punches his kid, the kid stick a knife up his ass when he is sleep.

i think this is comparable to saying when a 14 year old prostitute herself, its her choice to do so and its correct to exploit her.

No that person isnt.... wise enough to take her own decisions. i think same goes for degenerates. But wtf can we do about it. Nothing
