Default Whatever Happened to this Wager?

[ QUOTE ]
So Zen and I were talking poker and talking smack, like we do all day everyday, and he comes out with the following statement:

"I bet I can make more money than you playing a level lower."

Oh no you din'nt.

So we hashed out the details. We chose the $33's vs. the $55's because those two are closest in value, and the chip stack discrepancy makes it a little interesting. I'm going to play 500 $55's and he's going to play 500 $33's this month. Whomever makes the most money wins the bet. I will not disclose the amount for which we are gambling, because if his wife (holding new baby) read this and found out how much cash he was pissing away on stupid prop bets, she'd flip out.

It'll probably take us a month.

There is no point to this whatsoever.

Not much is going right for me. My opponents have decided to employ a particular strategy against me that I'm having a very difficult time defending against. It seems they've all decided to just start with the worst hand and suck out in all key pots. Anyway, I'm back positive again after dropping 18 buy-ins in my first 100 tourneys, so that's something:

215 $33's played, $135 net profit, 1.9% ROI -- shippit, holla.

I figure if I can finish first or second in all 285 of my remaining SNG's, I'll only lose the bet by a little bit. Fortunately, I'm splitting variance with Irie on this one so I'm kinda looking forward to losing this motherf#%$ing bet and then having HIM transfer a couple grand to ME.

The best that "Mr.ZenMasterKnowitAllofpoker&Life" can do, after 923496586745 years of experience & schooling, is "split variance" with the most dumbassweaktightlimpdick player that ever lived (who has no chance against Mr. "A")

Ummmmm....this isn't exactly what I would call a "key pot."

You should have started with 5-2o.

I got a bet for either of them.

Over the next 100 SNG's I play, I will have a higher ROI than one or both of you(seperately) TWO LEVELS LOWER! IF either of you plays one level lower, I'll spot you 2%. Play the 215's like I am, and I'll spot either of you 5%.

Come get some.

These special props are only available for Zen and Irie, as Zen has a new baby to support, and, well, Irie has strippers to support as they work their way through college(.....). I will, however, extend this challenge to Skipper too, and he gets either 2-1 odds or double %'s where applicable [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Does anyone else see the irony in this statement? Skipper is finally losing it.
