I've been dealing poker for almost 5 years now, (which isn't much compared to some,) and I've seen alot of different types of people who play the game. Old guys that play and talk like cowboys. Trades men that swear alot. Self proclaimed professional poker players that claim they make more at it than they really do. But get this... a new type of typical poker player I'm seeing more and more of. I call them....
"T.V. Kids"
So what is a TV Kids you ask?
Is usually a; - male between 19-25
- wears sunglasses even in a low limit structured game.
- Always has an analysis about every hand or play that's been made weather he's in it or not.
- will often get into discussions with more expierienced (older) players then claim to have more exp and skill even though they've only been aloud in casinos for like the last 2 years min.
- Trys to be way too cool when shuffling chips and tossing them in for a call or raise, usually spashing the pot.
- Has a ton of "Bad Beat" storys that are not bad beats. More like bad rivers or plays.
- Thoroughly enjoys the attention he gets when he takes down a pot, usually followed by more blabbing about outs, what he put the other players on, and a street by street guide to why he bet and called like he did.
Look around fellow poker dealers. Do you know any TV Kids? You probably do and have other names for them that I'd like to hear.
They're kind of funny to watch in a hand and a little too quirkey to be expierienced players. Have a look around though, I bet you've seen lots since Money Maker won the WSOP.
