I hate playing those kind of games. My social anxiety goes through the roof.

I love playing these games. Everyone thinks I am an idiot at poker because I always make stupid bets and give off obvious "tells" in the first few rounds.

People are unbelievably easily manipulated. We were playing a big blind of ten cents and I managed to win twenty dollars in one night.

Yes! The problem is that you cannot do it with the same people multiple times. They will get suspicious very soon
