Why poker fucks with our heads.

Wouldn't this train the dog to urinate on your stuff and never bring you the paper? Man, that seems twisted.

... and thus a fish is born. "Hmm the last time I made that bad call I hit the flush and got a mikbone (wtf is that btw?), I'll do it again this time!"

Perspective is king - -

When I hit my 2 or 3 outer, "I still had outs til the river!" - - when I don't, "that's poker"

When my hand holds up, "What does he expect? He only had a 3 outer!!!!" - - when it doesn't, "how can he possibly make that call?!?!?"

This is very good.
