need an opinion.....
Ok, I am looking for all opinions on the following subject...I am pissed off already, and now I have to type this for the 2nd time since Im too f++king stupid to hit the submit button....
Ok, Person "A" and Person "B" go to play some 1-2 NL together. Person "A" and Person "B" agree that if they sit at the same table, which we did, that we would "chop". Now, our definition of "chop", which we have done MANY times before, is if one person wins and one person loses, the person that wins, takes out whatever they put into the game, and "chops" the winnings, or "white meat" with the other person. So, fast forward to this particular occasion. Person "A" buys in for 100, cashes out for 295 around 3 to 4 hours later. Person "B" plays for an hour, gets killed, loses 300. So, again, under the before mentioned agreeement, Person "A", would take back the 100 he bought in with, and SPLIT the remaining 195 with Person "B" under this agreement. Well, the NEXT day, Person "A" tells Person "B" that he is not doing that because he played for 3 or 4 hours and Person "B" only played for an hour. Person "A" also tells Person "B" that if he did that, he would not be making any money!! Now, here is my question, who is in the wrong here, Person "A" for not following through with the agreement or Person "B" for asking for basically 100 bucks.
Now, it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out that I am Person "B". Person "A", who is a buddy, tells me, and I quote, "Get over it, I don't owe you anything." Now, I am admitting the fact that him not following through with the deal does piss me off and I am angry, and I will admit to overreacting somewhat, but to me it is the principle of the agreement, which we have done many times before, going both ways, the MOST money ever involved was when I, not him, won a big tournament in Vegas, winning around 1800 dollars, and I did not even hestitate in giving him half of that. We arent talking about 900 dollars here, only talking about 100 bucks. Now, after all that has been said, I no longer expect, or even want that money for that matter.
I have obviously learned my lesson, and wont make that deal with him again. From now on, without a doubt, whenever we play together, tournament, cash game, whatever, I am totally coming for his head, EVERY time. I totally accept the fact that it could blow up in my face every time, and I accept that, but nontheless, I will be gunning for him every time. In a tournament, he will be the 1st one I try to take out, in a cash game, I will raise him with ridiculous cards just as I would with good cards, just for the principle, win or lose, I dont really care, the satisfaction is I KNOW it will piss him off and make him uncomfortable, and thats EXACTLY why I will do it.
So, thanks for reading while Im on my soap box, but back to the original question, who is wrong, Person "A", or Person "B"? |
