People at the table do their best to "win", TV poker made sure of that - in order for ESPN to coin TV poker it was necessary to give it something synonymous with all sports - victory/championship/winning. Ever played a $50 donkament and thought that you'd cut your left arm off to get that load of players at a $50NL cashgame?

You can't tell your friends that you won a cashgame the other night.

I remember having some fish chase down a gutshot with obscene odds vs. my top set, and having hit it on the river and stacked me, he goes "yes!", I go "wtf i run so bad" and he goes "i always go for the win card".

I'd say 95% of the fish population say they "made" X amount.
