General Poker Chat
I was having a conversation with my girlfriend the other day and she was, as usual, asking me for money for bills or whatever. I flipped her a few brown backs and said "you know this is going to leave me short stacked for the rest of the week". She laughed and said "short stacked?!?". She knew what it meant. It was funny because I don't normally use poker terminology in everyday life but thought it was appropriate in that instance. It reminded me of a time when my buddy phoned me up and said "hey buddy, I just took the worst bad beat today!!" I said "oh yeah, tell me about it". He said "i got fired from my job!". It was funny to me...and still is.
You guys ever inadvertantly use poker terms in everyday life?
I want to ask my boss to bankroll me for my next few Brick and Mortar tourny's but I'm afraid he might think im on drugs.

'Poker=speak' in everyday life comes up all the time with me, but I can't think of any others right now. Glad I'm not the only one!!!
My wife's idea of poker really only comes from the movie. So if were in Wallymart and and I get one of the Behemoth Soccer moms that runs their cart in front of me....
" very aggryssssssive".....
Then I run my cart go down an adjacent aisle, pop back out into the center aisle and make sure I'm 'looking' at some end cap and blocking the whole row and behemoth soccer mom is steaming cause she is blocked from get to the sale on industrial size stool softener. Out comes.....
"bad judgement, bad judgement"
It's corny but my wife gets a laugh out of it.

"Im all in" when your excited about anything.
or the Simpsons mixed in, I love this one in traffic, when you go down one street to avoid congestion on another street but it ends up being more congested then the first one..
"Doh, damn gutshot straight draw...why you little awwwwrchchcwaaaaa" ... aimed at the car infront of me.

Guess it could get worse.
"I'm all in!" during sexual intercourse.
"Hey everyone, look at the short stack!" in the locker room
ok Ive sunk down to dick jokes.... in the poker game of life, dick jokes are the rake
LOL great post.
My other fav is when people are talking about money and you say "I'm down to the felt"
I played allot when I was there. Allot. I must say I was very used to the signals for another card -- scratching the table surface and holding by making a quick chop with my hand.
The third day we're having some lunch and we're having some fun playing Keno as we're eating. My better half asks if I would like her fries. I scratch the table, she hands me her fries. No hassles! I tell ya, she thinks Vegas is a good vacation spot, she understands me, woa, I knew she was the right one!
