<i>With all due respect...why even bother? Betting 2 cents, you could play for hours and a big win might be a couple of bucks. Yes, no doubt you limit your losses, but can you really get excited about winning $2 for a couple of hours, or even an hour? My time is worth more than that!</i><br />

Although it's not the .01 cent minimum, it can sometimes be <u>fun</u> hanging-on after a losing session of "standard bets" (that being $1-5 hands). When I used to play at Mapau, I'd get hammered EACH time I increased my bets. So, I'd be back down to some relatively low amount, play .10 cent hands (multihand) for a few hours, get back to the $30 range, figure it's safe enough to play $1 min. again, get hammered again, drop down to my last $5 AND drop down to .10 cent bets, work my way back up to $30, and do this again, and again, and again. Then... I thought to myself:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: DarkSlateBlue">a) As boring as it is to play .10 cent hands, I do relatively well...<br />
b) Again, it's VERY BORING...<br />
c) Why can't I have the same luck when I increase my bets?</span> <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/mad.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":mad:" title="Mad :mad:" data-shortname=":mad:" /> <br />

It's like hanging-on playing .05 cent VP over at any RTG. Kills the eyes, kills the mind (it's like throwing your brain into a microwave for a few hours), and IF you were to get up, you have to think about those darn fax-back forms. If your mind can overcome all those obstacles, you're very lucky (and dilligent indeed).</div>
