I went to M the other night to have dinner with my girlfriend at Terzetto. Fantastic place if you haven't tried it. I decided to check out these progressives and maybe run into Frank to ask about his date but not one person was playing them. The joker game was up to $3500 which puts the game around $101.6. The variance is way too high for me and I consider it a boring game so I just walked away. By the way Frank, how was the date?
