"That guy". Good term. We haven't running into him at our game, but we know he's out there. I've been made an effort to make our poker nights an invitee-only affair which means we get to selective about who shows up, but there have already been rumors of friends-inviting-friends on evenings that we appear light on players. This, inevitably, will lead to that guy...

Here's the deal with that guy. Worst case scenario. He really likes poker and keeps showing up for every game. End result: people get tired of him and the game just dies. What fun is that? One guy killed the fun for everyone else. When I think about that guy with that in mind, I have less of a problem being a prick and dis-inviting him from the festivities. It's brutal and there is likely to be collateral damage, but you'll still get to play poker, right?
