Bought a bonus round exactly once. It paid out less than the buy-in cost. I now feel both smart for quitting and permanently bitter. Where does everyone stand on bonus buys?
bonus buy slots — genius or trap?
The trap is framing the buy price as 'the cost of the fun part' instead of what it actually is: a much bigger bet. Once I saw it that way, the button lost its magic.
Painfully accurate. It's not skipping the line, it's paying cover charge to a club that might be empty.
I still do it sometimes. I am the cautionary tale this thread needs.
