Degenerate Poker Player
Harry was an avid poker player, bordering on degenerate. He played
as often as he could and could hold his own. Unfortunately, he often
took his bad beats too seriously and too personal.
One night, after a nine hour session, Harry was dealt four aces
and bet a load. George, was a skinny old guy who seemed mostly interested
in putting Harry on tilt. George drew three cards and Harry drew
one. Harry thought about check raising, but bet $500.00, figuring
George would either call or more likely fold. Instead, George pushed
all his chips in the center and said, " I bet two thousand
all-in".
Harry couldn't believe his ears and called the bet.
Grinning from ear to ear, Harry said, "Four Aces.", and
reached for the chips. "Not so fast, sonny.", says George.
"I've got me a Straight Flush to the jack."
Harry went into shock. After a moment or two, he got up and calmly
walked into the bathroom. As he splashed water on his face, he noticed
an old straight razor on the shelf beneath the mirror. He calmly
reached up and took the razor and slashed both wrists. As he stood
there bleeding into the sink, one of the stall doors opened and,
Joe, a friend of Harry's walked out.
Upon seeing Harry, Joe said, "Hey, Harry. A bunch of us are
going over to Sam's tomorrow for some stud. Wanna go?"
Harry quickly pressed his wrists together, vein on vein, and says,
"What time?".
