An older gentleman brought $100 to the table. To say he seemed disinterested in the game would be putting it mildly - he took a book out and began reading. He only ever looked away from the book (which I think was a Bruce Springstein biography) when it was his turn to act.
After maybe twenty minutes he goes all-in with about $85 from middle position and is called by a maniac in the small blind who hasn't even looked at his hole cards! Obviously the maniac, who has a big stack, likes to gamble - but why not look at your cards? If you are that much of an adrenaline junkie that you need to do things like this to enjoy yourself, then my friend you have a problem.
Anyway. The older guy flips over 77 and the maniac flips over K8. The pocket sevens hold up until Maniac spikes an eight on the river. Maniac scoops up the chips while the older fellow re-buys for another $100.
And the party just keeps going.
