The Poker Attitude

So I was out this weekend playing blackjack at one of the local casinos here in Vegas.  I will not state the name to protect the not so Innocent.  Anyway I was sitting at this table playing heads up with the dealer.  We were chatting a bit.  Then this guy and girl come and sit down at the table.  The guy bought chips for himself and the girl.  The two of them looked like they did not belong together at all.  The dealer deals the first hand to both of them.  The girl acted as though she had never played double deck blackjack in here life.  The guy used both of his hands and looked at his cards as if he was looking at his hole cards at the poker table.  The dealer said something about it to both of them.  The guy then tried to show the girl how to actually take a hit.  She acted like she was as dumb as a rock.  So, as they played I could hear them talking.  It was quite apparent they they did not really know each other.  At this point I am assuming she is a hooker.  The played for about 20 minutes then left the table.  I then started talking to the dealer again.  She started going on about how she hated poker players.  She made reference to this poker player attitude that they all had.  She said she could always spot a poker player.  She said "They have this attitude like they are always trying to bluff you."  I wasn't sure exactly what she meant by that.  All the while I just allowed her to go on and on about how horrible poker players were.  I was having a hard time holding back that I have been a poker player for over 20 years.  I wanted to ask her why she could not tell that I was a poker player as well.  But, I resisted the urge to say anything and just listed to what she had to say.  She even went as far as to say that most blackjack dealers hate poker players.  I never did tell her that I was a poker player.  However, it did make me wonder what was different about me that she could not tell.  I just thought this was an interesting conversation and wanted to share it with all of you.  Until next time thanks for stopping by.
