This story is from another forum I read, so its not a confession but still a pretty cool story with a moral at the end -what more could you ask for?
An elderly woman was playing hold em at a casino when a young man comes and sits to her right. He proceeds to verbally abuse everyone at the table, and due to a lucky couple hands quickly finds himself up 2-3 buy ins (~$800). He is becoming really annoying, boasting and generally criticising everyone's plays.
An hour or so later, the old woman and the young gun get into a raised pot.
The flop comes T

The young guy puts in a smallish sized bet, about 1/2 pot, and the old woman thinks for a few seconds before calling.
Turn: T

The young man bets, but this time it's bigger. A pot bet. The old woman quickly pushes all in for the rest of her chips (about $400 raise into a pot of ~$1200) and the young man with a sudden grin on his face, lets out a cry of victory and calls the raise, flipping T
T
for quads. He shouts across the room at his buddy who is playing at another table and gloats for everyone to hear. A small crowd gathers and the old woman looks embarrassed. She says 'you got me' and says she has an ace-high flush. The young man sn1ggers audibly. She hold on to her cards until the river comes, which is:
River: T

The young man is telling the gathering crowd how he managed to get the maximum value for his quads and generally being a pr!ck, and goes to gather his chips. 'How could you call all your chips on a flush with a paired board?' The old woman suddenly announces she has A
8
for the straight flush, keeping her cards calmly face-down. The young man turns to her and shouts at her, asking her again. 'What did you say you had?' Because on that night the casino had been running a bad beat jackpot (get beaten with quad 8's or better and win the BBJ, which was in the tens of thousands, making this $2k pot tiny in comparison). The crowd starts to murmur as all eyes are on the old woman. The young guy is literally dancing with glee as he asks the floorman (who has come to see what the fuss is about) how much is in the jackpot, and he confirms $63k.
The young guy says 'let's see your *****ty hand to confirm then' to the old woman. The old woman says:
'Son, you need this money a lot more than I do, and I'm gonna teach you a lesson'. She flips over 8
for the straight flush. 'Take it down', she says, and flicks her cards into the muck.
