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.

"8. Thirst: The unreasonable desire to consume large quantities of alcohol." LOL

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.

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.

To be consistent, make it start with :

The unreasonable desire to be better than you, exaggerated opinion .....

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.
