Hmm...."we are supposed to be overconfident""...That reminds me of parlance in my industry when companies say "We are confident that we will beat our expectations".

Perhaps I am not overconfident and stubborn enough for the twoplustwo intelligentsia.

FAQ, OMFG, BBQ

Just so you know, the MTT forum is the most humble and most of us here dont go by the "houlier than thou" thingy.

I'll throw ya a bone:

abbreviations

P.S. Not everyone here has that "holier than thou" attitude, though I thought the same thing when I first joined. So let me be the first to say welcome to the board, and I look forward to your contributions.

*Edit* I just noticed LAG isn't on there - how is this possible? Anyway, it's Loose-Aggressive...

*Edit #2* Aaahh, they are all under More Advanced Acronyms and Abbreviations

[Jason Strasser]

It depends who you are.....

I probably don't take this deal because I feel like I have more HU experience than Sheets.

If the money doesn't mean much to you then it's a no brainer.. money comes and goes, but playing at a WPT event is something you can remember

Pretty sure you can buy in directly to the foxwoods event he's talking about for 10k. After taxes I've been told the prize is worth 7200 (if you take the cash, FW takes out 2800 right away, nevermind any other taxes you might have to pay yourself like income tax?). So you're really only losing 2800, AND since he's just giving it to you, I guess you could probably get away from calling it income.

I'd take the cash, if it's not a significant part of your BR, buy in to the event directly. This is a no brainer for me. I think I'd be tempted to offer to take the deal from Sheets, and then say something like "lets play for 3k" to the winner. That way you're still chopping, but also you don't have to conceed.

Yep. Your EV in this situation isn't so hot, even if you're better than him, it's not going to be by a lot, so if you are even better than himn, maybe you're worth 6000?

[Rex Ruthless]

I am still relatively new, but most here are very cordial - wanting to help each other out. Hope you stick around as I, like most others, already know of your rep.

Yep, I would take the deal against you, since you and most others on this forum are in a higher league than I . . . for now :-)

If it were u strass, I would have offered 9k obv.
