Sorry Poppa, but we actually do like taking turns picking each other's pockets. We really don't have a revolving door in the game, only occasionally inviting someone to join us or an old friend back in town. 9 out of 10 games it is the same people, and we aren't in it for the money. Purely nickel and dime stuff, the most anyone wins or loses is around $25.

The analogy makes sense ONLY if you understand the reasons WE play poker. Granted, many people would rather play in a game that is more cuthroat - no limits, new players to be marks, etc. That isn't why WE play.
