re: What is your best gambling story: Scared Money Never Wins Edition

I don't gamble much but I do have a CSB about my first time gambling

sat down with 100 bucks at a 1/2 dollar blind hold em table at harrahs NOLA right after I turned 21. Was nervous as shite. I had played a ton of home games but never sat down with that amount of money in front of me.

Anyway, long story short, I was dealt AQ my first hand and flopped a straight. Eventually guy forces me all in. Freaking out because it was my first hand and I think there were 3 hearts showing or something that suggest I may have ran into someone catching a flush or something on the river. Called after convincing myself that it would be okay if I lost Ended up beating his two pair and was very excited.

Very next hand, dealt AJ. Catch a full house on the turn. Go all in and get a call. Dude turns over another AJ and we chop.

buddy and I played another 45 minutes and walked away with about $250. Nothing major obviously but kind of crazy for a first experience
