Orient Expresses

Tournaments with a buy in of $50,000 or less are toy trains. Tournaments with a buy in of $100,000 are plain trains. Tournaments with a buy in of $200,000 are midnight trains. Tournaments with a buy in of $1,000,000 are Orient Expresses. Last night, I took the second Orient Express of my career. I took it because no midnight train was in the offing. I didn't outlast the late registration period, which meant that I didn't record an official place. I hit the rail on a flush draw which didn't pan out. I have to say, however, that I really enjoyed the thrill of being a high roller. I've decided I'm going to keep on taking Orient Expresses as long as my 2021 balance stays in the black :-)
