85 million play dollars lost

A little over four and a half years ago, I thought it notable that to that point in my career, I'd lost nearly 7 million play dollars. Here's what I wrote then:

There's a great joke which has as its coda the following remark and rejoinder:

"I've never been so insulted in my life!"
"Well, you should get out more!"

The poker equivalent to this might be:

"I've never lost so much money in my life!"
"Well, you should play more!"

The truth behind this humor is that you'll never be able to win a massive amount of money without losing a massive amount of money along the way.

Recently, I surpassed the 85 million mark in play dollars lost. Here's to many more play millions lost in the future :-)
