A lady next to me last night held one to a Royal on dollar single line short
pay double something. She hit a Royal then started sobbing. I congratulated
her and said, "Gee you only held one." She sobbed some more and said,
"Two Two."
"It looks like one.... ohh you only had two coins in." She sobbed some more.
Later on she held three Royal cards and hit again but with five coins in.
Myself? I got a couple of one of a kind threes.

I have seen the same thing happen a few times. I do wish that I could
understand this reaction. Do they really want to LOSE while playing
short coin? Why play short coin if you are going to whine when you
score a Royal? If you can't afford full coin, why not drop down in
denom. or drop out of playing altogether, until both your actual and
pyschological bankroll is enhanced?
Just my opinion, of course. No offense meant to those who like to
play short-coin. I just don't understand the attitude that, when
electing to play that way, scoring a big hand is resented rather than
appreciated.
