As per your own rules, I am entitled to $30 for reaching the 500 post count. I am willing to play you heads up for the $30. It would be fun, it's basically FREE for me, and it might even get some good debates going on the forum...

But, it's hard to accept an offer where I risk $30 to only win $20. That's a negative EV before even sitting down to the game! Now, I think you would be a competant opponent, and you might even be better than me... so my EV really looks shitty. See where I'm coming from?

I have a feeling you aren't worried about the $10 so much as you don't want to set a precedent where you can allow someone to double their money. Upon playing, and subsequently beating you, heads up. Financially, I understand where you're coming from - that CAN get expensive.

But, again, when you say "I'm putting up all the money..." I really can't agree. Yes, it's your money - but didn't I earn it from participating on your forum? Maybe this comes off a brash, but I feel like I'm entitled to $30, and I'm giving you a chance to SAVE $30 bucks, if you were to beat me. Of course though - it's a gamble.

I'm willing to gamble w/ you - but not if i'm risking 1/2 to gain 1/3. I'd rather take the $30 straight up and play cheap MTTs.

SideNote: If you want to talk about transferring $20 and playing for the last $10, then yea...
