Vicarious pleasure

[McG]

Before you perverts get too excited, I'm not referring to the "dogging" thread in General Chat. Once again, my Sunday has crumbled to nothing and I have started to watch slapdash in the Sunday warmup ($550 so far), and it got me thinking. "Is it wrong to get pleasure from the performances of others?" In my defence, I'm also learning a lot as I watch him steal blinds from late position (I haven't a clue what his cards are most of the time - and the same applies to the other players at the table :loon). For me, part of the forum experience is enjoying the successes of others. It doesn't result in any financial gain for me, but I genuinely feel better if someone from PL does well in a tournament - as long as it's not at my expense, of course. Do others feel the same, or am I just weird? Please don't all shout at once. McG :gimme

Re: Vicarious pleasure If you get pleasure from watching ME play poker, then ... you're weird, I'm afraid. :loon But seriously, why would it be wrong? I feel a bit bad that I don't rail PLers more often when they're doing well in tournaments. As for what my cards were when I stole the blinds, I'm afraid that's between me and my maker. :tongue2 Thanks for watching, by the way. Sorry I didn't give you vicarious pleasure for a bit longer.
