[b]just a game[/b]

Poker's just a game.  I'm a lousy player, as anybody who's seen me in the CardsChat tourneys would attest.  But I know what I'm getting into.  If I lose, I lose, and maybe I'll learn something along the way.

I was going to lie and tell you I'm extremely wealthy and don't mind spreading it around, but there are a couple people on her who know better than that.

Once at the casino I stacked a guy for his whole $200  (a LOT of money for me) when the board was flushy, I had the nut and acted after him, and he kept betting into me.  I called and called until the river, when I went all in.  He called, had a lower flush, and was physically affected by it, losing color in his face and everything.  He did rebuy, and was mumbling to his friend for the next fifteen minutes that he "had to call."  I have to confess, I did feel a little guilty.  I was thrilled to have pulled off a successful trap, and I figured that the guy was probably a lot wealthier than I was, so I didn't offer him his money back.  But I did feel like I'd deceived him; even though that is what poker is all about, I felt a little weird about it.
