How I lost my Jeton.
I was at the Wynn playing $8/$16 Limit using my $10 plain Jeton as my card capper. I was up about $300 from my $300 buyin and feeling pretty good. I was in middle position with pocket Jacks. I flopped top set with no draws on the board. The pot was getting big with 4 people to the river when the board paired dueces (which also 3 flushed the board) giving me the top full house and the 2nd nuts. Ended raising and re-raising until I was heads up with just one other guy and said something really dumb.... "Do you wanna just go all-in?" He said "Yes" and tabled pocket 2's for the nut 4 of a kind. I got up and took a walk because I didn't want to see all my chips being sent over there and I was steaming pretty bad. I didn't go back and left my $10 plain just sitting there on the table. When I went back the next day, nobody had seen it.
It was a learning experience.
