I guess I just wondered whether the game was going to end when we all went home that night. After that experience, I decided you never really knew what someone would do if you did take more than they could afford.

I didn't always get cards like I did that night, but I also didn't want to end up a homicide victim for playing a game too well.

Your right. It depends heavily on who you are playing with and what their ability to seperate real life and the game is like.

And that is one of the things I love about No Limit Hold Em. You don't need cards! I have had some of my best tournament finishes when I have gotten squat for cards. And there is nothing like catching a full house on the river when you were forced to go all-in in the big blind with 2-7 off suit. I have done that once and the guy I was in the pot against about exploded when the 7 hit on the river for me to beat his trips.

I won't tell the whole story, but I once took down a $48,000 pot in a tournament with 9-5 offsuit. Caught four 9s and had two full houses betting into me!

Then play for pennies a game.
