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

Taken from the GR88 blog: http://www.gr88.com/blog/

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 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 :-)

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

THIS, LOL.

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

#15 29th May 2011, 5:31 PM

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!"

#16 29th May 2011, 5:50 PM

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

#20 15th June 2011, 4:08 PM

#21 16th June 2011, 4:12 PM

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....

#22 16th June 2011, 4:23 PM

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

#23 16th June 2011, 6:09 PM

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

In the same situation, I will often say: "Heads up for rolls!"
