Annoying words and phrasesMarketing bollocks, buzzword bingo, or your mum saying "fudge" when she really wants to swear like a trooper. Let's ride the hockey stick curve of this top hat product, solutioneers.

That's poker!Er, no, see, that IS poker. There is an element of random chance to the game. It is possible to play 'correctly' and lose to someone who was lucky.
That's why poker is such an attractive game to new players. They can often hold their own in a game despite not being able to remember whether a flush beats a straight. If every newbie got destroyed and humiliated on their first go, they wouldn't get hooked and there wouldn't be a steady supply of victims for the better players. It's to your benefit in the long term. If you can't stand losing occasionally, then go play Wii Tennis on easy setting.

I don't mind losing occasionallyIt when those people think that they've won through skill that it annoys me.
There's actually a good quote in Super/System about this: "Never be irritated that you've been drawn out on. If you both had all your money in and he won with a worse hand, you are still the better player".
