Absolutely. No one is questioning this.

Let me give you another somewhat-related example. When a table breaks up in a live tourney and new seat assignments are handed out, I PREFER when the TD deals out the seat assignments to each of the players over when they are placed on the table and everyone has to grab their own. Both methods are equally random, and in the long run there is absolutely no difference between them, but I prefer the former.

Does this mean that I have a problem when they are all tossed to the middle of the table or that it plagues me or drives me crazy? Do I even think about it for more than the 1 second it takes me to reach in for my new seat assignment? Absolutely not. I simply PREFER to have no "hand in" (literally, in this case) my fate in the tourney in this regard - one that is COMPLETELY dependent on luck. Maybe it's superstition, whatever.... Clearly, this is a personality _______. I leave the word blank there because I don't think "flaw" or even "issue" are correct - those words are far too harsh. The point is, my reaction to this is simply an opinion - a matter of personal preference - and I don't understand how anyone could berate me for having an opinion on the issue just because they don't care either way (or prefer the other method, for that matter). It's the same to me as if you guys got all worked up because I like Blue better than Yellow (which I do, btw).

I don't like cutting BJ decks either, FWIW. I still do it, of course. I just prefer when the hot blond sitting next to me does it instead.
