Misconception #1: When I lose in poker, I do not hold it against the person I lost to.
I may be upset when I lose a hand or many, but only for a few minutes or more. It's never personal, and I never, ever take it off the table. When I leave the table, I don't remember any of my winning hands, and I don't remember any of my losing hands.
Whatever happens at the table stays at the table.
If I am pissed at you while we're playing poker and after we leave the table, then you did something to piss me off before we sat down. If you don't like the attitude I bring to the table, and you want to resolve our off-the-table problems, talk to me about it.
