Poker player question.

[Invigilator]

I am a fundamentally compassionate person, but I am not going to tune this guy up.

If he is playing for money online, then he can check out the rules online.

If he says "why didn't my Queens win?", I might say " it's a low card game", but that's it, if that.*

Exception: If I am playing a mixed game, I won't even go that far.

If you have the braincells to get to the point to play for money online, then you have the braincells to look up the rules.

This whole issue reminded me of another conversation I had with my cousin once. Away from the table, I am going to try to convince a friend that can't afford to play with his money to not play. When I sit down though, I have to realize and be willing to accept that I might be winning someone's tuition, grocery money, rent, etc.

Poker is a pyramid scheme. People at the bottom lose so people at the top can win. It's a firendly, predatory game. And let me tell you the view from the top of the pyramid is nice.
