I sit at tables where people plop down twenty or thirty bucks for a buy-in where that money is mere pocket change. We played two-five Texas-Hold em for several hours. Then everyone left except for me and one other guy, plus the home owner. I was up for the night and doing well.<\/p>\n
We changed to no-limit poker with a five-ten blind. We played for another hour or so. Finally on a hand I had that was okay, I ended up losing to someone who got pocket aces. So I walked out even on the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
