Which is not such a great thing with the spare bankroll I currently possess. As far as blogger events go, no biggie. The buy-in is for the entertainment and that’s not a bad way to look at my meager online balance. As -EV as it is, I’d prefer to spend that spare change playing with my friends. But my early exit (which was NOT Gigli, for the record), eliminated the entertainment value of my eleven bucks, though I was pleased to see my esteemed colleague, Maudie take down top prize.
