In our local games, we have a few players that are completely social players. One guy has been playing locally for the last 30 years and I estimate he has lost around $500,000 in these local games over that time period. This guy is 64 years old, and has never taken the time to learn how to play poker properly . He plays every hand and wont pay attention at the table. He tells boring stories when he is in every hand, and is truly ": dead money" .

I am astonished how people can play poker for so long, and never even understand the basic fundamentals of discipline, betting, money management. I actually think this guy likes to lose his money at the table , but he doesnt really lose it, he gives it away.

I played with this guy last night in a POT LIMIT, dealers choice game. Heres a example of how he plays.

Its 4 card omaha hi only...the flop comes 3-8-j rainbow .  He checks to me, I bet $60 , he reraises me $50 { which puts him all in}  .  I got top set, he has middle set. I call quickly and he replies " I know you got top set " .  He goes broke.

So he basically admits that he put all his money in on the flop, with a 1 outer.  He knows I wont bet big unless I got the hand . This is how bad the players are in my local games.
