Any time someone has played in a friend's serious game (monthly Texas hold'em, 40 entrants, $25 buy-in type thing) they tend to mess things up. One guy, A, did really well but he wasn't using a mathematical system. Apparently this caused some complaints and one guy got so pissed off that he threw in his chips and stormed off... never to play with them again. A thought it was hilarious, as he should. Keep in mind that the guy is a mathematician who knows he has some serious 'tells' so his strategy is to play completely irrationally... even if he has good cards he'll often fold, or he'll play with crap.
