A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

One hundred whole dollars. Played texas hold'em at a casino in Canada when I was 18. $100 buy-in.
Sat down at the table, got dealt in, first hand was suited king queen, ended up with a flush, another guy at the table took me all in and it took me a loooong time to call. Soon as I hit that pot I started bullying the other players with my chip count. Then a guy came over and told me I had to move over to the higher-rollers table.
First hand I'm dealt there? suited ace king. What comes up on the flop? an ace and a king. I slow play the hand, whats the river? another king. I've got a full fucking boat, kings over aces. I go all-in. The only other guy playin calls. I flip mine over, proud. He flips his over, pocket aces. Dude had a full boat aces over kings. Sonofabitch. Left the table, sat outside, called my Dad.
c'est la vie. Haven't gambled since.
That's some Rounders-type shit
Pocket aces was literally the only hand that could have beaten you. The odds were in your favor, I'd have done the same thing.
Yeah, I was like "welp, that was some bullshit." and left lol
