On a lighter note ...
 
This happened at a home game at my house in the late 1970's. We were playing .25/.50 dealers choice with a very occasional five card stud pot limit hand.
 
I was having an unbelievable night. I was reading hands like Matt Damon did at the Judge's game in Rounders. Every time I needed a card I got it. I folded unbelievable premium hands that would have lost. Within a couple of hours I was up over $150.
 
These guys were going to keep playing until they got their money back. A couple of them couldn't afford to lose what they were down which made me feel bad. (Yes, I'm an idiot.) To boot, it was snowing like crazy outside. I really didn't want the game to go all night so I decided that I would start losing and give some back so that they would go home. I wanted to get some sleep.
 
My plan to lose money backfired. Within an hour, my $150 turned into $275. The snow got deeper and the game kept going on. They were going to play until it stopped snowing. Finally at about 5AM the game broke up. I managed to lose my way down to about $160 profit. They all left, cleaned off their cars, and struggled to get out of the neighborhood.
 
I later found out that it was only snowing at my elevation and above. A couple of minutes after leaving my neighborhood, at an elevation of about 50 ft lower, it was all rain. They could have left at any time.
