Best $2 ever spent.

[CletusVanDamme]

The night is winding down in the $1/2 semi-underground/semi-casino game. We're playing 4 handed. I'm in seat 1, seat 2 is good 2+2er, although he's very short stacked and either not on his game or tilting tonight. Seat 3 is a live wire young military guy, seat 4 is a so-so player, and regular dealer for the game. We're all kind of gunning for seat 3's stack. Finally on what would be his BB, he announces he is done. He wants to take his $410 and go home.

We plead with him to stay, and seat 4 tosses offers to pay seat 3's BB. So, seat 3 sits down. I'm on button, and tell him I'm raising just enough that if he calls, he'll have $399. Well, he calls, I flop 2 pair against his top pair. he loses $100 to me. I gave seat 3 his $2 back.

Took about 20 minutes, but he lost the other $300 to the other two guys. He said he should have known better.
