    $3,500 on a hand of poker

    About the same but I won euros.:cool: Weirdest hand I've ever seen. Three of us, all playing jack-ten off suit. Flop comes Q-9-8 with two clubs. We're all trapping until the serious money starts going in and then we're all trying not to give the bloke with A-Q clubs a free card. Every shekel goes in as we all have the nuts. Turn comes a club, river comes a club and I'm sitting there with the jack of clubs.:D

    On the other side, my biggest loss ever was also in the Fitz. I had aces against kings. All goes in pre-flop and the bastard hits a third king on the river.:(:mad:

    he blindfolded me; led me to a room around the back n said put yer hand out. i heard a drawer opening he said one, pick one. i put me hand in the drawer i felt lots of paper all around. i shirked the fleshy thing protruding from a hole in the bottom and pulled out a twenty, he said there was bigger. but he was not a reputable bookie

    I won 60 quid in the lotto the first ever time I did it. I thought I was onto a winner, that I was guaranteed to win something every week. Foolish me.

    I also won best a$$ in school three consecutive years, in a survey conducted by our male counterparts. That title alone is enough of a prize. I miss those days ...........................


    Usual AH rules apply.........pics or gtfo

    Ugh. Have people ever vomited when you tell them that? Makes it sound like he was your boss at work or something.

    Never more than a couple of euro. I made my first ever bet with Paddy Power today. I bet on Inception to win. It won't, I would just love it to, so I went for it. Odds are 80/1. :eek:
