It's you're.
You are = you're
Your = something belonging to you, your car or your fault

Poker is silly.
It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

Be glad your opponents refuse to fold; if they didn't, you just might go broke.

Stoney, it's not only "your/you're" problems, it's "there/they're/their" and "its/it's" and so many more. Honestly, I know I sound like a grumpy old git but the standard of grammar is really awful. This is stuff that's taught at a very young age, after all.

It is taught at a yound age, but then it is drowned out of our heads by popular media and culture.
The "its/it's" thing is something I had completely forgotten about.
Its= belongs to it (like his or hers)
It's = it is
the your/you're thing I know, but I still make typos all the time in forums. I hate it when I do too.
"rediculous" is one that always cracks me up.

The word "villain" seems to get butchered quite often on poker forums... (technically speaking this is a spelling mistake and not a grammatical mistake, I know, but nevertheless it seems to occur quite a bit here).

Believe it or not, I actually do know the difference between "your" and you're". I just dont give a rat's ass which one I use when Im quickly typing a post.
Just as I always seem to type "gn" instead of "ng at the end of a word like "winning" but I dont care enough to go back and correct it.
