Low Buy-In Massage

Sometimes you'll read reports from those high roller events about all the massages happening around the room. There are a few going on here today at our $1,000 buy-in event, although we just saw a humorous scene over at Table 29 that might point up one difference between these low buy-in events and those others.

"But I only have four dollars," explained the player to the masseuse as we happened by. He was told that was good for two minutes' worth, but he still wasn't sure he wanted to commit.

"I'm worried I might want more," he said and the table laughed. Smart thinking. He didn't want to get into a situation he couldn't afford.

Finally he took the two minutes, during which time one assumes he felt like a high roller.
