we all cracked up laughing including floor walking by and dealer.
everyone said at once "HOW YOU GOING TO WIN HIS MONEY, YOU NEVER PLAY A HAND"
This is pretty funny actually,a classic.
Little clarification about drinking though: its not about being pressured into drinking if you not want to. Its about not being a nit and maybe take one beer or couple of drinks to keep a huge whale happy if the situation warrants it.
I barely drink any alcohol, and havent done that in the past 3-4 years for several reasons. However, i am not a nit or obsessed with not drinking anything, so if a big whale wants a drinking buddy or offering me a drink, i am certainly hopping on board despite i rarely drink in other instances. I laugh with him, cracks jokes with him and taking couple of rounds with him. You dont need to get drunk, just dont be a nit all the freaking time.
As mentioned being a nit push people away from you (not only at the pokertables for that matter,this is good life lessons as well), and being a true nit is also the reason why many people have a hard time getting action on their good hands at the poker table: and the problem isnt that you fold alot or play tight pre, its the way you act like a nit that people cant stand.
