Trust me, i play with real money. I won 760 bucks on the 22nd and gave it all back on the 23rd and 24th. Last night was the worst. I'm small blind in a 1/2 NL holdem game. Everyone limps to me so I call the other dollar with a 6 10 suited spades. BB checks and flop comes 7 8 9. Naturally I check. a $20 bet comes out and then one guy calls. I had $120 so I push it all in. Then the guy before the original bettor goes all in for about 350 and after a ton of thought the original bettor calls. The guy who went after me had the 56 and he went all in hoping to get someone else to call so he could take down a big side pot because he put me on 10 j. As it turns out the guy with the pained look on his face had the 10 jack. So to make a long story short you had a hand with one guy having the low straight, me with the middle straight, and another guy with the high straight!!!! I got a second club on the turn to go with the 2 in my hand so i had 9 outs for the flush but didn't get it. That sucked big time. I woulda tripled up instead i got sent packin. The highs and lows of poker. Day before i finished 6th in a 60 buy in tourney One spot out of the money. That sucked. Winner took home 850
