Race to 20k

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.

Hey Blake: you once wrote this also.

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

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.

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).

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.
