I moved my chips to the high rollers table and in 20 minutes was up to $1250. I called a raise from small blind with a 4 and 5 of spades. The flop showed 4h 5h and 5c. I raised and the guy in front of me reraised. I went all in, he called as chip leader and thinking I was bluffing. He was looking for a flush with Ah and 2h. The turn shows a 3h. And the guy beats my full house with a straight flush. Worse loss to date. But I loved the adrenaline rush. Tell me your story!

playing in a $5-$5 no-limit cash game, i had AA...raised to $50 preflop, get two callers...flop comes K-10-5 rainbow, they check and i raise $100, one caller...turn card is a 2...he raises $100 and i'm thinking there's no way he's stayed in with pocket deuces after my raises so he must be on a draw and i re-raise all-in...he calls and flips over pocket deuces!!everytime i tell that story, the first reaction is always 'HE STAYED IN WITH DEUCES!??!'

I've been watching the World Series of Poker on ESPN (how it's considered an ESPN sport, I'll never know) and I got to thinking.....
The main event is a no limit texas hold 'em event and the price of entry is $10,000. Now, you don't actually gamble with money after that - the $10,000 is just the entry fee. Even if you lose terribly, you don't lose any additional money. You can't lose more than the $10,000 fee you spent to get in the door.
So is this still considered gambling? I thought it might be more of an entry fee to a tournament that awards the best skilled player and not so much an actual gambling event.
What are your thoughts?

Complicated situation huh... Although I do that at my house once a year with 20 bucks 8 guys and take 5 bucks out for food. 10 and buy the winnning player a silver bracelet and the rest of the 80 he keeps. So I make it sound like a tournament when I don't gamble myself.
