I've been gambling non-outrageous amounts of money since 1985 and "blue buttons" is new to me; it sounds like a good thing, too, to avoid animosities flaring up when one side wins and the other loses.

Hi Don- I promised I would never mention Founding Member again - i was making too many folks uncomfortable. I am now calling them blue buttons- It's 100 bucks, but it's well worth it. Don gets it either way

07/22/24: I would never be uncomfortable in the familiar confines of wagering terminology. BBs are a splendid way of putting it. I see that the stakes have been adjusted for inflation. When I tip people $100 today, I'm embarrassed because I used to get $100 tips in the 80s (which absolutely floored me), and now all I'm doing to repay these long ago acts of generosity is handing the person a piece of paper worth only about $25 in 1980s dollars.
