> poker REALLY doesn't work when it's for play money

I have a great college memory of taking an all-in no-money hand off a fraternity brother as a freshman prospect during rush week... with a pair of 3's (against an ace-high?).

Dealer to brother: "Why the hell did you go all in?"

Brother: "Because we weren't playing for money."

Dealer to me: "Why the hell did you call with 3's?"

Me: "Because we weren't playing for money, and he wasn't either."
