I'm not (and never was) a card sharp. I was merely instructing the overly
optomistic in the application and science of probability theory.   Bv)=

It costs money to learn about odds.

When I was in the Navy I got involved in a semi-sanctioned poker game (Navy
Relief Carnival time and each pot was tapped for at least one Navy Relief
Raffle ticket). Played for a bit with some of my barracks mates and was up over
$1500.

Then, rather full of myself, I bought into a game full of senior non-coms (1st
class and Chief petty officers) with their sleeves full of hash marks. I didn't
even get to see cards in the first hand. 

Folded whilst I still had a couple hundred left and went back to playing more
near my level.
