Ugh, my friend is such a purist when it comes to gambling.

We were playing cards tonight and betting a couple dollars each so it was really just pocket change. The pot amounted to $16.37 and this friend of mine won it, but insisted he didn't because he disagreed on one of the rules of the card game. It started an argument that turned into a fight and he threw the money everywhere. All over sixteen bucks.

Sounds like he takes the game too seriously, which can happen with amateurs in any game or sport when they start to think that they are professionals.

@SW-User His story is that when he was a kid his brother used to cheat at cards and break the rules all the time so now as an adult it causes irrational anger in him. I don't know if that's true but that's what he says.

@BlueMetalChick It could be true. I have certain situational triggers too, like people coming near my food 🤨
