So many of those "sins" come down to covetousness! I'm afraid I've been guilty of too many of them!

"5. Anger/Wrath: The unreasonable desire to get even after a bad beat." I'm definitely guilty of this one. :)

arrogance: the need to express an exaggerated opinion of one's ability, often by acting in a pompous manner and/or by denigrating other players.

So, is arrogance #9 ? We do see this one too much, especially on-line.

Eight Deadly Sins of Poker

Okay, I like it, so maybe I'll add it, although slightly changed...maybe?
Thanks Arjonius
Is this any better ...or worse?
Arrogance: The narcissistic,I’m better than you, exaggerated opinion of one's importance and ability, while acting in a disrespectful, pompous manner towards the other players.

Trying to keep it simple like the other sins, this is my final addition...I think...maybe. It's probably going to be a moot point anyway if my book doesn't get published. I'm waiting for USA online poker to come back, if ever, before I submit it to any publisher. If rejected, I'll probably go ebook.
