Here's a mockup I did as a tribute to someone from the weekly home game. Here's the story:
We play a weekly low stakes holdem cash game that's been running for almost 20 years. One of my neighbors dropped out of the game, then retired so he was interested in getting back in the game. I asked the host and he agreed to work my neighbor in. We have a pretty LAG player and my neighbor was somewhat of a nit.
We do like a lot of games.. if the hand is heads up and they get it all in, they can agree to run the remainder of the board more than once (ususally it's twice).
Only after a few weeks back in the game my neighbor finds himself heads up, all-in against the LAG. Hands were turned up and LAG flopped a straight, neighbor flopped a set. My neighbor asked the LAG if he'd run it twice (which the LAG is always happy to do) but the LAG player was losing pretty badly at this point and he'd rather bust and just re-load or double up, so he refused to run it more than once, to the complete chagrin of my neighbor.
Now nits can really sweat it, which was the case after the hands were turned up... I think he was literally shaking. Turn is a brick, River pairs the board giving Mr. Nit the full house! He was so worked up, as he was raking the chips he said "THANKS FOR RUNNING IT ONCE, THANKS FOR RUNNING IT ONCE". Yes, he said it twice. He wasn't laughing and the table fell silent. I know the guy was so worked up that he probably wasn't thinking but gee, it was only a $40 - $50 pot.
He had subsequent opportunity to apologize or say something but he didn't. Sadly, he hasn't been invited back to the game.
I tend to find humor in things, so for your enjoyment is this tribute chip I mocked up to commemorate the event:
