Total losses were $2.50, so it wasn't too vicious. Still fun, though the evening ended up being more goofing off than serious poker.

I played 7-card stud with my dad and 3 of my uncles a while back. we were only betting using quarters, each better would put in 25 or 50 cents, I think we got one round of 75 cents... either way, these were some pretty small pots. and I ended up walking away $15 richer... I'm a natural born gambler I guess...
