I felt bad taking this guy's money tonight. He got married 48 hours earlier. He was drunk while his wife was working (they are both dealers) and he was slowly losing off $300 while he talked. I asked him, warned him, begged him and finally conspired with the floor manager to get him on tea (and off the Bud's and Jaeger-Meisters). We got him tea - but he nursed his last 2 drinks.

I had had a real slow night and after 5-6 hours had an $8 profit to show for it. I am big blind and find ...

drunk newlywed limps + some limpers + both blinds = $12 pot. The flop comes ...

.. and i have flopped top 2 pair.

I lead out $15 - to deny odds to those drawing to either straight or flush. one limper and small blind fold. one limper calls. newlywed calls. the pot is now $57. the turn comes ...

I lead out $35 and both call. the pot is now $162. the river comes

the flush card. I check to newlywed. he immediately goes all in for $125 more. i go in the tank, i angle him a little but he looks down and says nothing. i have seen him play poker badly for 4-5 hrs and seen him lose most showdowns. i consider that if he flushed - he might bet less to get a call. nope. based on gut fell i call. i show two pairs and he shows

He immediately ships his chips and leaves without so much as a goodbye. I feel like an ass !!!
