One night in Vegas I lost $400 at Texas hold'em. The big losing hand was as follows: I had a flush on the turn. I bet big. A guy who couldn't have more than two pair went "all in." Sure enough, the all-in guy caught a full boat on the river. I was despondent. Upon leaving the Venetian (I think it was) I stopped by the roulette wheel. I had never played roulette before in my life, what with a 5 1/4 percent house advantage. I had $500 left in my pocket. I reasoned that if I lost it I wouldn't feel that much worse than I already felt after losing with that flush; but if I won, I would be on top of the world. I dug into my pocket and put the entire $500 on RED for one spin. I won and just as I thought, I felt like I was on top of the world. I was tickled pink as I strode back to my hotel room and told my wife what had happened. I have never played roulette again. If I can just keep away from the wheel, I will be one of the few lifetime winners at the game of roulette! :grin:
