When you're playing poker, and you're up a good bit, you have a decision to make. You can keep going, and hope that your good fortune and/or good play continue. Or you can call it a night, which means you won't be winning any more money, but you will also preserve the gains you've already made.

So, we ended up with 52R + 7D + 1I for the bill and 38D + 1R + 1I against.
