There are plenty of "new school" degens who pull the same crap edog is pulling....I've been around a while myself and it's never been okay
I agree with you about "old school vs. new school". You don't need to read a book or play on the internet to learn these moves. Daniel you would do better to call it "reality vs expectations".
And people feel that this stuff only hold for gamblers? A non-poker/gambling friend of mine has been sharing a bunch of stories with me where he has been negotiating with credit collectors over his credit card bills. He settled his largest bill of $15k for 5. And the funny part is, in a few years, the credit card companies will be ready to gamble with him again. (Just like even after all this someone will invite EDog into their fantasy football league again.)
As many people have wisely pointed out, this stuff is across the board. I don't even want to think about what goes on within our government. (But if it's anything like the Department of Education where I worked for a few years we should be in the streets rioting.) We're just exposed to it more in the gambling community because the opportunity presents itself more and the turnover is much quicker.
