Actually, it was more of an experiment than anything else; I kept going until I won it all or lost it all. Obviously, I lost it all.

There were a couple of times when I quit that I was ahead. But, of course, I kept going, like an idiot.

Oh, no, I never won that much. The key with Tri-Con is that I *lost* that much. The pot stays the same if you win (but don't take the pot), but grows by the ante when you lose. The percentages are around 50/50 win/lose.

Believe me, I have a pretty extensive sample set to pull from!

Anyway, that means that I *lost* 4.x million. The best win I had was around 500k, but I had spent that 500k on losses, and was down to like 50k when I won it (It was then or never). Then I got greedy, and tried again.
