Re: Weird Wedding Gift (low content)
Accepting an offer to play with someone else's money (except for a reasonable staking deal) is just a bad idea. It will not turn out well for all sides.

[/ QUOTE ] I'm not trying to sound like some big time gambler because I am not but it is one thing if it is an amount of money that means something to you, another if it is just fun. If I lost the $200 I wouldn't have any super hard feelings, it would be half a bad hand. The feeling pressure was kind of tongue in cheek. Let me put it another way, I usually ignore the requests but a close friend who has done a lot for me asked me if I could take $50 to vegas and guarantee to turn it into $75. I said of course I can (by not gambling with it but just paying $25 out of pocket). |

Re: Weird Wedding Gift (low content)
Having read the thread, I like the idea of 1/2 NL. It's a gamble, but those games are pretty soft everywhere I have played them. Maybe go.5/1 NL, one buy in, and paly for 3 hours or until you go bust. If you go bust, you only lost half.
Or you could just say "[censored] that noise, I buying you a gift." (or just giving cash.) Or you could just "break even" after 4 hours play, they aren't going to be looking over your sholder or anything are they? |

If they were gamblers it woulda been fun just buying into a 215 multi. But if I won I would just end the friendship. [/ QUOTE ] You are awesome. And I'm not joking. [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] |
