Alright... I just tilted off ten bucks to a moron on Stars. I fell right into his trap of badgering everybody at the table. I couldn't resist talking back, for some reason, and based on his monosyllabic tendencies and inability to distinguish between "your" and "you're," it was quite easy for me to counter attack when he called me "dumb." While it got quite a rise out of the rest of the table, it cost me ten bucks when I foolishly called his all in with my two pair. Three spades were onboard, and when the hand ended, he showed a suited hammer in spades.
What a jackass. Couldn't even play the real hammer under the gun.
In all honesty, though, I am the jackass, for letting the guy tilt my game. I'm now going to go outside and take down my Christmas lights, despite the very strong urge to log into another poker table. This is exactly the type of moment where I need to walk away....
