Too bad they kick your ass at just about everything in life. Boo hoo Railfuck. If only we could get a gang of women to beat the shit out of you, I'd do pay per view for that!

Do you have an off switch?

Did you know? Poker was invented by gamblers to fleece suckers. Most card games start off as regular old parlor games, and later people may gamble on them. Poker was a gambling game from jump street.

Anyway, it seems that this unfortunate poker pro should have been more scrupulous. You are playing for $1.5 million, so it's not out of the ordinary to quarantine yourself for a week or two before you head to the tournament.
