Poker Player Gets Soul Crushed. I Cry Too.



So this has been going around the web recently. Poker player with 93 percent chance of winning a huge pot gets cocky, loses, and slowly but surely dies inside while we all laugh and watch.

Here's the thing though. I know exactly how this guy feels. It's literally the worst feeling on earth. Some people enjoy gambling, love the rush of winning money. Me, I hate losing in general so much (which happens every time you gamble) that I get angry when I'm simply losing the game I'm playing. Add in the fact that when you lose at a casino you're also losing your money...I'm surprised more people don't kill themselves on the spot.

I went to Atlantic City last year and was on the roulette tables. If you told me before I started gambling that you would see 12-15 reds come out in a row on the table I would have called you crazy. That shit happened at least 6 times while I was there. Needless to say I lost every dollar I had that day. If you had a camera on my face as I watched my last 1,000 dollar chip get taken away as yet another red came up, I probably would have looked a lot like this schmuck.
