1/4 billion wagered

In my October 12, 2015 post, titled "50 million play dollars wagered", here's what I had to say:

If you're old enough (as I am), you'll remember that for many years, McDonald's proudly boasted of how many burgers they'd served in their history. They included the number on their neon signs, and regularly updated it. I forget how big it had gotten by the time they stopped this practice, but it was somewhere in the billions.

This is all by way of trying to extenuate the braggadocio of this post's title :-)  Let's face it, any way you slice it, 50 million is a lot of play dollars to have wagered playing sit and gos, and I'm proud of achieving this milestone.

As of this moment, I've now wagered $228,152,280 playing online poker tournaments, including sit and gos. Friends and neighbors, that's just shy of 1/4 of a billion play dollars. As  you might expect, when I'm reduced to bragging in this shameless way, it means I can't brag about recent results :-)

In other news, my blue distance reached a new all-time high of $5,906,000.
