Pretentious People

Ever heard of the term, D.T.A.? Don't Trust Anybody. Especially in POKER.

The game has exploded beyond imagination, and thus you find yourself playing more and more against people you don't know. Most of us started playing the game with friends. But eventually, you meet other people who also play the game, in order to get better. There are some people who you might encounter that aren't really there to make friends, but just to take your money. That is normal. But then, there are some who just wanna screw you over. Period.

In poker, the greatest lesson one can learn is not how to manage money, but to learn how to read other people not just at the felt, but also outside of the gameroom. Don't be stupid to think that it's just a game, and the screwing over only stays within the game. It happens in real life all the time.

Poker is a microcosm of the real world; it is cunning, merciless and brutal. Concordantly, just as in real life, there is a hierarchy in the food chain. If you want to survive, you have to be the at the top. Survival of the Fittest.

If you think everybody around you are fishies and dolphins, think again. There are always sharks lurking around, pretending to be dolphins. So don't trust anybody you meet at the poker table. It's just a facade, a soiree, a masquerade.
