Tonight we're playing some 1c/2c mixed games as a family (6-year-old, SO, and myself).

Max turns to me, facing a bet from his mom, "I'm going to fold and sit-out. I need to take a break."

I didn't think too much of the wording until the end of the night. We called it quits at 9pm for him to go to bed. "OK, Vinnie, we both need to sit-out now; so, we can stop for the night."

Suddenly, I realized that he's copying me. Because, when my GF asks me if I am almost done, I respond by saying, "Just let me sit-out at my tables so I can quit." Clearly, this saying is so common around my house that my six-year-old thinks that to stop playing poker you need to announce that you're going to "sit-out."

:rolleyes:

-When you count, after 9 comes T, J, Q...
-You read a license plate that says "OOP3B" and you think "man, he has at least AK"
-Some guy cuts you off and you call him a ****ing donk
-When you don't know what to say to a girl over IM you immediately try to look for her player notes.
-You refer to life decisions as +/-EV, annoying everyday things tilt you, etc.

Lol. Some of these are really good. The EV of life decisions, totally guilty.

I saw a license plate the other day and though to myself "full house"

I am totally guilty of the +/- EV thing too especially after reading poker books/strategy posts.

When you look at the price of something at the store and think to yourself, "This is X number of buy ins."

Too much influence in the home when you are negotiating an allowance for a large chore and he agrees: adding he will raise the amount to add on another chore, then agreeing by stating "all-in".

When you describe things in everyday live that are highly unlikely as being "sick".

When you're at a petting zoo or an aquarium and see a donkey or a fish and run off to get a deck of cards to play against them

when you start losing to much or you are having one bad run after another it is time to take a break from poker.

When you have notes next to the names in your little black book of girlfriends that read as such:

Loose/aggressive
Tight/Passive
Donkey
Just another fish

Sometimes I think out think of poker terms with realizing it. I think fold instead of quit sometimes. "This math homework sucks, I fold"

when your 6 year old says dad you better fold , because you have JJ and the flop comes K Q 5 and someone bets.
