True story from 2004- In my early 20s I went to a poker tournament at my older brother's "friends'" house. I hardly knew anyone there, but I already knew they were dangerous, ghetto people from playing Madden tournaments with them. These aren't the kind of guys you would fukk around with. These guys dealt drugs and got in fights at Charger games (some of which I had to get involved in because my brother was one of those short-tempered guys who got in a fight at a bar or club at least once a year). Thankfully we always won the fights
.
Anyways, I was invited by some guys, but my brother didn't play poker so he wasn't there. Anyways, I don't know what came over me but I kept getting screwed on the river so I decided to cheat. I fixed the other deck so I'd catch a flush on the river. When I did, someone called me out and said I was cheating. My heart stopped and I thought I was gonna get jumped by like 10 guys but they didn't do anything because they knew my brother.
Dumbest thing I've ever done....when I finally saw Rounders a few years later I realized how lucky I was.
My older brother called me the next day...not a fun conversation.
