The worst possible thing to happen to you?
Tonight at my local casino playing caribbean poker against the bank.
A funny thing happened.
The ever increasing jackpot for a royal flush had just hit $300k, to be entitled for any part of the jackpot ($200 for flush, $1000 fullhouse, 10% str8 flush etc) you needed to cover the anti with another $1. Not much I admit when your betting around $10 on any hand you wish to play against the bank.
An old lady is playing next to me and has about $50 in chips total, all of a sudden shes like starts shouting and shaking after seeing her cards. She puts her cards down and covers the bet. We wonder wtf is happening, she says she has a decent hand.
Bank has pair of fours and turns over everyones hand. Gets to the old granny and it reveals a royal flush. Pays here about 600$ for the hand, and nothing else becasue she didnt put a $1 anti down for the jackpot.
The old lady was gutted, she lost the plot. She couldn't believe she hadn't covered the anti and not won the $300k jackpot. The staff had to take her to lay down.
If that had happened to me, I dont think I would ever forget it.
