I had been playing hold 'em at a casino for about an hour and already turned $40 into $69. A particularly loose cajun on the other side of the table put up an $8 bet. For some reason, I thought of this post and referenced an $8 bet as "about an hour of honest wages." I folded and was unable to gamble for the next two hands. I called it a night early and left, mediocre winnings in hand.
