One of my new favorite things about Thanksgiving is playing cards that night in Weatherford. In 2010, I won $120 on Thanksgiving and this year I more than doubled that.
The most interesting thing to happen at this year's game was I flopped four aces while holding pocket aces. I've had four aces before and I've flopped quads before as well, but I've never flopped the biggest of pairs while holding the only other two in the deck. The overwhelming mix of emotions I felt is near undescribable. To see a pair of aces in your hand is already a great boost to one's confidence, but to then see the final two aces roll over in the first three cards makes your mind go crazy.
However, the best part of flopping my four aces was that I actually made some money off of it. My buddy Jay bet the flop and the turn. I then made a bet that would have put him all in on the river and out of friendship and mutual respect talked him out of calling. He wasn't going to call anyway, but it was still a nice gesture on my part. I ended up making about $70 on the hand.
I profited $245 in four hours. This gave me an hourly rate of $61.25 and brings my total for 2012 to $1,155.
