bc he thinks in the real world being knowledgable at poker matters. it doesn't. the point of playing poker if you're a winning player is to make money not let everyone know how smart you are.
the really good players generally want their opponents to think they suck. the marginal winners tend to want people to think they're great which makes no sense.
i saw this the other day in plo- guys has a huge wrap and nails it when all in vs a set. set goes off "how the **** could you call me on a gutshot " for some reason the guy who won decided to point out he actually had a wrap and 13 outs not 4 and the guy who lost calmed down.
the guy who won is an idiot for doing this.
