About 10-15 years ago I get invited to Kyle's home poker game. I have some friends that have a college connection to The D and Kyle was light that night so sent out a call for more players. I get the call, pick up some beer (Budweiser kingers!) and head over. There are 12 players. I know 3 of them. One player is an A-List (or close to A-list) movie star. A few other famous-ish actors. I sit next to Kyle on his right. Buy-in is $300. NL hold'em. I had never met Kyle. On the very first hand I'm dealt Jack clubs-Queen clubs. Some pre-flop action that I call. Maybe 5-6 in to see the flop. Flop is King clubs-Ten clubs-blank. I flop an open ended royal straight flush draw! First hand! I had pounded a few beers pretty quick when i got there just because I'm at Kyle's house and there are a few famous people there. Everyone is having a good time. I see the post flop action don't try to push it. The turn is a blank. Someone makes a small bet and gets a few callers. I decide to make my move here and raise $100. Only a-list movie star is behind me. He's a terrible player, i can tell this before we even sit down to play. After my bet he immediately pushes all in. Everyone folds and it's back to me. I have to call but I know I'm an obvious dog. He has a big hand. I know i'm going to call but it's the first hand so i drag it out for a second. Smile to my friends like I can't believe I'm going to lose my buy-in on hand #1. I say to Kyle, "you can't believe what i have", knowing I'm going to call. Kyle leans over as to ask for a peek. I show him my cards. He kind of half groans but doesn't say anything. I was always calling I just couldn't believe crappy player behind me caught a hand. At this point A-list actor FREAKS OUT! Screaming about me showing my cards, about me being coached. Guy has to be worth 8 figures back then, maybe pushing 9 figures now. I tell him to relax, flip my cards over and say i was always calling. I'm priced in at this point. He flopped a set. River was a blank and I lost my $300 buy-in on the first hand. I didn't bring enough for another $300 buy-in, I think I was short $100 and Kyle slid me over me the difference.
