dumbest poker/gambling thing you've ever done

I don't really have anything impressive, but I want to hear about underrolled shots going horribly wrong or that time you decided to bet $1000 on blackjack and then split 10's against a nine

Played double or nothing coinflips with a friend on the plane on the way to Vegas. Started at $20 a flip and I wound up down like -$640

i'd say it would be pretty dumb if you bet your entire net worth on a conflip.

err, well only if you lost.

three or four years back I insta cashed money I didn't have ($400) and sat down at 30/60.

Won like 3 grand too.

I cold-called a raise in MP against a tight UTG raiser with KJo once. I was younger and less risk averse back then.

Yeah, I know, not that dumb, surely someone else has dumber. It was a lot of my bankroll at the time, but then again $320 was a lot to me at the time so I had to take another shot to get even!!

Well. Both of the blackjack sessions I posted on here were pretty dumb . Especially considering I lost almost 2/3 of my bankroll on the last one. What do I win? [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

First time i started winning at poker i had built my bankroll up to like 5k. Came home wasted one night, woke up the next morning to play some hungover poker and discovered i was BUSTO. Had apparently been playing 10/20NL when i came home.
