“...and it was at that point that I realized my life had become completely unmanageable.”
Really, if you’re capable of getting blackout drunk and dropping half a million dollars over a weekend, you’ve got bigger problems than losing the half mill.
Played a 5-10 no-limit at the Inn of the Mountain Gods in Ruidoso NM, 5 called the big blind and I had QJ suited. The flop came QJJ with the QJ suited, at the river there was three of us and one was all in with 3400 dollars in the pot. I had a boat, one had a a high straigh and the other a flush. I took down the pot and the other player congratulated me, the all in player approached at the bar and complained that was all the money he had. I told him he should have never sat at the table, then gave him a black chip and walked away. Some people don’t know when to quit.
