i wasn't in the chat when the final deal was arranged but i believe the skype chat history will show i actually argued in favor of you getting an equal share when it was first brought up.
however since then i have a few conflicting thoughts on this matter.
for the record i would like to point out when the limp situation was being discussed and i had zero financial interest i argued just based on my personal feelings on what is fair/right in these situations that people that lost to limp in that last week SHOULD NOT be expcted to pay the people that won from him that week.
therefore had you lost to skill in the 10K home game i would not have said that you should be forced to pay the full 10K if anything since had you won you would not get paid, therefore at least from my perspective you were not getting freerolled in that regard.
i think the real issue is that our home games are 2/4 PLO and 20/40 hom games where the buy in ranges from $400 to 1K at the most.
so the fact that on the side you 2 were playing a freeze out for more then 10x the normal buy in should be considered.
i mean its just not right to expect the rest of us who have nothing to do with it to assume responsibility that you collect on a heads up freeze out for exponentially higher stakes.
if tomorrow chris and jared decide to play a 20K freeze out and one gets stiffed there is no chance in hell i'm going to help pay their win out of my pocket or out of my wins.
i personally voiced some concerns to indafastlane when skill games balance got to above -10K and had i known you guys were going to play a 10K HU freeze out i def would've made it clear that you needed to either verify the funds were ok or take full responsibility for the match, as obv the chances of something fishy going down are exponentially higher in a situation like that.
anyways like i said the only time i ever discussed it in skype chat i was actually on your side for the most part however now that i think about it more i believe its unfair for you to expect the rest of us who are playing $400 buy ins and 1K limit games to assume responsibility for a 10K heads up freeze out non of us even knew you were playing.
What is the saying don't throw stones if you live in glass house or something.
Kind of comical that this is the person to talk about limits and how small the home game buyins are.
He was stuck hu vs me For 19k at one point playing hu 5-10 plo
