So you want to be a ballar card shark huh? Which means you’ve probably been spending every waking moment eating, breathing, sweating, bowel-movementing poker! However, there comes a point when one can play too much poker.
So before you max out your Amazon Visa Card on poker books and spend the rest of your bank roll in Vegas please take a moment from your poker-filled day (yes just one moment) to understand the top 5 signs that you play too much poker.
#5. Poker Hand Goggles
You’ve heard of beer goggles right? You know, when those down right ugly ass bi%$es look like fine-ass-sexy-mamas simply because you’re wearing beer goggles. Well, Poker Hand Goggles kinda work the same way. It’s where you see everything in life as a poker hand. So how do you know if you have Poker Hand Goggle on? Let’s see– If your girlfriend has to have an intervention to tell you that Broadway is where she wants you to take her for her birthday and you still think she’s talking about a 10 through Ace straight, then you got them PH Goggles on! If you’re watching CNN and Obama comes on the tube and you start think of pocket 4’s with big ears then you got PH Goggles on! And most importantly, when you unzip your fly at a urinal and you’re seeing Big Slick…well you’re either very confident or you got PH Goggles on!
#4. Rake Back Rewards Card
We all have one. Whether it’s a grocery store club card or a freaking Jamba Juice card etc. The bottom line is we all have one. Now the way you know if you play too much poker is if you get one of these cards and you realize that you get one free smoothie for every 10 and say to yourself “WOW! That’s 10% rakeback!” well then my friend…you play too much poker!
#3. You Can No Longer Talk About Sex with the Guys
So this one is the worst a man can experience. It’s when your friends are talking about chicks they were hooking up with and they start throwing out terms like “loose”, “tight”, “aggressive”, and “passive” and for some reason instead of thinking about your buddies sexual adventures with females, you’re thinking about GUYS you were playing cards with the night before.
#2. You compare Tiger Woods to Phil Ivey
This one is pretty simple. When you see Tiger Woods and you automatically think of him as the “Phil Ivey of Golf” then you play too much poker!
#1. You Have a Better top 5
If your sitting there right now and thinking to yourself that you have a better top 5 than the ones I just mentioned, then YOU PLAY TOO MUCH POKER! I don’t care if your list includes a bigger desire to finish that $1 tourney than to have sex with your girlfriend, or if you forget to change your baby’s diaper because you were in the middle of intense grind, the point is YOU PLAY TOO MUCH POKER!
