I went to a local Casino out here, Casino Arizona, and I have a bit of an issue with the way people play around here. Nobody has any fun. When I play a game, more than anything I do it because it relaxes me. I've noticed that when I play a game out here, people simply aren't happy. They walk around as if their damn puppy got killed and raped by Manson. Given it sucks if you lose a load of money, but I was told from the very beginning, you shouldn't play if you're lucks run out in every other arena of your life. Poker is a good ending or middle point. Rarely have I ever come across someone who's life has changed because they played a poker game. Usually it's the exact opposite. It's usually been an instance of "I got a raise this week, I recieved an extra 500 in the mail for the IRS screwing up my taxes, my wife is having sex with me again... I'm gonna go play poker." I hate to be Oprah, but I would never play a game if I only had negative energy on my shoulders, because chance and "The Secret" have it, you're probably gonna lose. I'm going to Vegas in a few weeks to watch Knockout Poker Tournament, and I'm making sure to go there with all bags by the door and stress gone.

Follow my logic.

I need to concentrate to play well.
I have the best chance of winning when I play well.
When I win, I have fun.

So in order to have fun, what do I have to do first?

That's one reason I won't play there even though it is two blocks from my house. You either have the punk kids thinking they are Phil Ivey and should win every hand, the old farts that bitch when you take them to the cleaners, or the type you describe playing their last penny.

You seem like a casual player and might have trouble distinguishing between a booze filled low stakes home game, and the mentality of most casino poker players. There are the young, TAGgy, shaded up, nits that believe they are the next pro, and can usually disrupt your session if what you're looking for is to blow off some steam. Request a table change, or come sit to the right of me at a table. I'll make sure to keep you laughing while your stack gets lower and lower.

Poker relaxing? not the way I play lol. Its fun sometimes and boring at others but there is a difference in being bored out of your mind and relaxed. If anything the heads up feeling is a rush of adrenaline and is not relaxing at all... but fun.

People in AZ might be pissed because it 104 outside.
