Eight signs that poker is taking over your life (funny)

Taken from the GR88 blog: [link broken~tb]


1. You consider yourself running “light dead” when stuck in traffic.

2. You introduce yourself by your online handle.

3. You call time on someone who takes too long to tell a story.

4. You refer to a date as being “heads-up.”

5. You accuse the cashier at McDonalds of bluffing you.

6. When asked how your day is going, you say you are feeling “a little on tilt.”

7. You mute the TV and provide your own commentary for High Stakes Poker.

8. Playing the lottery, you wait until the last number to see how it will “play out on the river.”

LOL!

Haha, i know i use the word tilt regularly in daily life, and i evaluate life decisions whether or not theyre + or - EV.

Haha thats awesome I've done like 4/8 of them I'm doomed!

this is exactly wat i do. especially the ev part. im always deciding whether my decisions i make are ev in the long run

good stuff, thank u

Lol I do some of those and have also when arguing with someone about who is right or wrong, I will say "I'm all in!"

Haha at the all-in; thats great!

After losing our SIFE team competition, I told our faculty advisor I was feeling "tilted". I also got stuck in traffic today and thought about being "light dead". Good stuff

lol.... I won't say which one I'm guilty of

A quote from Doyle "Poker is a way of life".

when I am playing bad guitar I am "note dead"

i think it's enough to know that poker is taking over your life if you think about it all day like i do ...anyway it's nice,i liked 5th the most

very funny, thanks for sharing OP!

THIS, LOL.

Hahaha funny indeed.
The heads-up one came on my mind a few times hahaha, not the rest though.

Lol, I use donk as an insult for almost anything these days. It's so versatile. Like if someone pulls out in front of you on the road, "what a donk!"

lol i definitely use the term tilt for a lot of things outside of poker...and haha at the 'all-in' comment, i use that one a lot too lmao...funny points tho, i hope i never get to the point where im using some of them...that's a scary thought lol

I use poker lingo with my GF and she gets pissed. I always tell she is on tilt.

I wouldn't have to do this if Norm didn't suck so bad.

haha, 5 is defo the best

haha awesome - my own commentary is always running in my head when watching TV poker

4. You refer to a date as being “heads-up.”
....and afterwards refer to this heads up as ,folded preflop when I saw her....or went to see a flop...or even....whooohoooo...went to showdown and scooped the pot....

I think the only poker related thing I do in terms of language is say "sick" in real life. Kinda of disturbing.

as for language, I think Bad Beat is what I use most...

If she gets you "Heads up" isnt that being way ahead? And if you end up unexpectedly way behind, isnt that where your "bad beat" begins????


(Cmon, guys, lets admit it.... some of our worst bad "beats" were when we were not anywhere near a poker table..........)(

9. When counting to thirteen: ..7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K
