Exactly. I'm way too cheap for that.The House Always Wins, eventually.
I used to be in a cab Association back in Boston 20 years ago which was the most corrupt cab Association probably in America. Right there at 223 Albany Street they had the longest running Russian gin rummy buy-in game of all time. Totally illegal. Used to buy off the cops in order to keep it running. The gas man got to take the rake from one or two tables depending on how many players there were. Never played. Who wants to lose the money they just worked for?Exactly. I'm way too cheap for that.

Guns were drawn for $300? Jesus man. You have some incredibly insane stories.I won $300 on one hand of 3 Card Guts once. The guy whose apartment it was had three Jacks and was so sure he won, but daddy had three Queens.
The pot had to be repaid and guns were drawn.
I didn’t poop. @Strings

Some fucks would draw heat on you over a few bucks, it's the principle.$300 in 1986 was a lot. There were six others playing and some of that pot was considered theirs.
They weren’t the most savory characters.
Baptism By Fire.That reminds me.
During one of the card games (that happened every Friday night after work, second shift at the frozen food company), one guy was super drunk and staying in on every hand, no matter what. It turned out that his ex had told him earlier in the day that she was moving out of state with his two kids, then his girlfriend broke up with him.
The next Monday, we got word that he tried to kill himself. He went home, blew out the pilot lights on his oven, and opened the gas on all burners hoping to gas himself. He claimed he laid down on the couch and the next thing he knew, he was in his neighbor’s yard being extinguished by the neighbor.
Dummy forgot to blow out the pilot light on his hot water tank. Leveled the whole house.
I went to see him in the hospital and he was wearing a mask. Saw him again a few months later, and he looked better than ever. I don’t know how in the world that happened, because I caught fire once and it just made me uglier.

What the fucking fuck.It was the same group/card game where the dude bet his thumb, lost, and then cut it off himself right there on the table.
His name was Buzzard and was a full on Hells Angel. He was arrested a few years later and the thumb was in his medicine cabinet soaking in formaldehyde. The coppers printed it! LOL
Ugg. I seen too much crazy shit with real 1%ers. I was at drug house to buy a lb. of weed and they made me sit down and watch this chick fuck their dog since she was $20 short yet wanted some coke(heroin?, meth? not sure). The two biker dudes ended up having their way with her too, I really though they were going to make me join in. fuuuuuuuuuuuck no.It was the same group/card game where the dude bet his thumb, lost, and then cut it off himself right there on the table.
