avoid the clap

If you are the sort of person who plays online poker, I feel sorry for you.

I also play online poker, to great frustration and great joy in turns. I'm not as good as some people I know, but I've learned a couple of things, and here I impart the greatest wisdom I have learned to date:

There is no shame in waiting for the "it's your turn" ding. When it's your turn, grip your mouse firmly in your hand and click. Click with purpose and certainty, lest ye end up all in with a pair of 3s against some chump with a flush.
