Re: Race to 20k
[ QUOTE ]
Me and my best friend have been playing poker together since we were 17, sneaking into casinos and all the like. We have both been successful high stakes players for about a year and half now. We're both 22 now. We have placed a 20,000$ wager on a little online race. [/ QUOTE ] Hey Blake: you once wrote this also. [ QUOTE ] This is similar to something I read about in a Doyle Brunson book. I, as well as many of you, just started playing poker a couple years ago [/ QUOTE ] You said this in October. And a "couple of your brothers" also use your name? Come on man, give us some credit. Maybe it's time to just make a new screen name and come clean. Furthermore, why would you make so many posts about live 10-20 hands if "20k isn't a significant part of your bankroll"? Then you post about 100-200 hands from nondisclosed locations. Please. -James |

Re: Race to 20k
Okay, I've heard some really dumb ideas in my day but this one takes the cake!! (assuming of course that this is totally legit which I don't believe anyways)
I think the money wouldn't concern me as much as the time that you'd be wasting. $20,000 isn't a lot to me nowadays but I still wouldn't take this bet, it's just plain dumb especially if you're starting with 1/2. Jesus christ at 22 there's got to be other things to do with your time than grinding it away like this and all for probably nothing. You'd feel like a complete loser that you wasted 3 months for nothing if you lose. Even if I win I wouldn't feel good about taking 20K off a friend (even if like you said, that's it's not a lot of money to either of you). |

Re: Race to 20k
I would actually take a bet like this with a friend, and play lilke 10 hands and just lie to him saying I was trying my best and then when he won I'd fork over the 8 bucks and laugh in his face and bang his girlfriend who felt neglected the whole time he was playing 1/2 online poker.
