Poker is a manly game. If you play, you're going to end up shuffling the deck at some point. Unless you're at a casino, but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about playing some poker in the den with the boys and a twelve pack. You don't want to be the guy who needs someone else to shuffle for them. It's like when a guy asks another guy to open a soda for him. I hope this has never happened to you, because it's impossible not to react negatively.
There's plenty of guys who suck at poker, but are welcome at any table because of that. As long as you know the rules and shuffle the deck, you'll be welcome too. Read some books about it on your off time and then take them for all their money.
