My wife is a shrink, and I once read one of your postings to her (sorry, can't remember which it was) and she said, "Sounds like Asperger's." <br /><br />I took the test myself -- thanks for the link -- and scored a whopping 12.<br /><br />As always, your blog is great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36880087.post-67242083957604459132011-05-23T20:27:34.533-04:002011-05-23T20:27:34.533-04:00Could possibly have a schizoid type personality.

The clinical diagnosis was Schizoid PD, which is basically a fancy way of saying I generally don't like most people or being around them. Society is a mystery to me.Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16098082908012287826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36880087.post-54581146040029364872011-05-23T17:17:52.091-04:002011-05-23T17:17:52.091-04:00Funny Tony moment...he was stuck in the dollar gam...Funny Tony moment...he was stuck in the dollar game at bills and then BOOM sudden outburst about all the white chips lol went on for a few hands!

By the end I was definitely rooting for a TBC win due to the mean and nasty attitude coming from the other side of the table. TBC can be obnoxious, but in my experience most of his comments seem to be about justifying his play so that people will think he is a good poker player.<br /><br />I did like watching Zev and Justin on TAR. I have long believed I should never get a body wax, and now I have video proof :)<br /><br />I took an autism spectrum test a few months ago and IIRC I scored higher than you did. But I don't think I'm actually autistic, just someone who likes routine, sees patterns, and does not do well in social situations. You might have noticed I did a good job of sitting off by myself at the heads-up match.<br /><br />As usual, it was nice crossing paths with you again. It might happen again next month during the AVP meetup.Tarpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10117117121445134204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36880087.post-10310459552760351712011-05-23T10:04:21.351-04:002011-05-23T10:04:21.351-04:00Outstanding article.

I think it was fairly telling from the first match that Tony won, that David definitely was losing something that had nothing to do with poker and has only shown up worse over time. I don't know him personally and I'm a bit surprised to hear your assessment that you didn't think it was pure internet bravado. David's personality on the internet has in my opinion always leaned toward disrespectful and mean spirited, I always chalked it up to internet speak. Although a personality trait that shows itself in one area isn't just a result of that area as many know.<br /><br />I have no particular fondness for Tony, I understand he has a disability, but his attitude, opinions, and behavior stretch beyond that disability in my opinion. That's not to say he's not able to handle himself well in a situation such as this beat, which it appears he did and for that I would give him credit, if only due to the fact that David's boorish behavior makes you realize that Tony's good behavior was the higher ground.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17190937282558817928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36880087.post-26777127448597155432011-05-23T09:49:00.990-04:002011-05-23T09:49:00.990-04:00I happened to catch videos online of the first TBC...I happened to catch videos online of the first TBC-Yappy Dave heads up challenge several months ago and had the same "puppy kicking" reaction you did too. Although it didn't change my opinion of Dave, but rather confirmed my opinion formed from his postings on AVP that he was an egotist and borderline megalomaniac.JT88Keyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14030012435363552208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36880087.post-64030970418469616162011-05-23T07:59:10.600-04:002011-05-23T07:59:10.600-04:00Thanks for the laugh on a Monday Morning...
