Not just 1k. He’s going for an entire week. Each session of 2/3 he plays, he owes you 1k. Oh wait, his friend called it first and is generously giving the money back. Fake as ****.

Also another session with no chip porn.

Because you didn’t actually pay the penalty. You just pretend paid it to a friend who gave it back the next day.

If you were really standing behind your word, you’d actually pay the penalty you said you would pay. But that’s not you.

Not fake... I actually did hand a blue $1000 chip over to him. He was the first one to catch me.

And the people on 2p2 have spoken that I can play cash games in Sydney, so as a result, I am dishonouring the 1k challenge for the duration of my Sydney trip this year.

The challenge was only intended for Melbourne, not Sydney.

You are definitely due for a break, and a vacation. But Sydney? I guess that's ok for a bit, but what about leaving the country? I thought you were coming to the US. Maybe you should hit up San Fran, LA and then Vegas and from there check out New York City and Miami. Just write everything off as business expenses for poker.

The people of 2p2 have also spoken that you angle shot the bet by letting a friend collect then give it back to you.

Most people did. Only a few trolls like Kelvis insist on trying to win the 1k, even when the situation doesn't warrant it.

Like as long as I stick to a reasonable game (nothing too high stakes), don't get drunk and don't play when feeling tired and sluggish, then why would you want to discourage that?

why would the challenge only be intended for Melbourne? I thought the challenge was intended for a degenerate gambler who can't control himself.

So what if the person who collected the 1k wasn't my friend, but this stranger decided that he didn't want the money and he gave it back... would that be any different? Are you trying to argue that it's unfair that the person who won was my friend, or are you instead trying to argue that it's unfair that they returned the money?

At the end of the day, no one is offering me anything to participate in this challenge. I'm literally freerolling you. So why are you getting so mad that the conditions of the freeroll are such that it's very difficult for you to win?

Regardless, good luck 6bm! Please take a picture of those Sydney chips, I’m intrigued to see how different they look/feel from your earlier description!

6,

The whole “freeroll” was a lie from the get go and you were never going to actually pay it to anyone. Which is fine, but it’s silly of you to act like it was real.

You should check out momofuku Seiobo in Sydney for dinner.

Anyone else on 2+2 in Sydney during the WSOP? I kind of need someone to confirm this is actually real and not a straight up troll.

lol at thinking op was actually asking for advice on Sydney. Just like every other impulse, the decision was made the second the idea entered his brain.

convo between Dlou and op imo

Well if you're this picky about the way your son must become, then I dearly hope that he lies to you constantly and doesn't admit a single mistake to you.

On the other hand, if you actually value honesty and transparency, then you'll learn to be more accepting of people who tell you stories of their struggles and their mistakes.
