I can't take it any more...

[Talking Poker]

My biggest poker weakness is continuing to play (sub-optimally) when I am losing. I look around the table at the idiots who are beating me, and I keep thinking that given enough time, I'll get them back. And they keep killing me, over ad over and over.

If it's not cooler after cooler, it's this shit:
