| | If there is one thing I cannot stand at a poker table , it is bad sportsmanship. So you took a bad beat from an inexperienced player , get over it ! Take it with some dignity and get your own back by winning their chips. Don't publicly belittle someone at the table. Its not classy. |

| | Poker is a microcosm of all we admire and disdain about capitalism and democracy. It can be rough-hewn or polished, warm or cold, charitable and caring, or hard and impersonal, fickle and elusive, but ultimately it is fair, and right, and just. ~Lou Krieger |

| | I love poker. I learnt poker when I was 14. I hate people who splash the pot. I also like bluffing in poker. Bluffing is a feature of poker that distinguishes it from other games. |
