$178.41/call, not a cent either way

pretty hard to open to 5k in a pot limit tournament at 500/1k, good effort though

@LilD

exactly right, the sporting reason behind the wager was our opposing opinions on Rob being able to run a HU tournament and get 64 entrants (not re-entrants) to show up and play it on the day. The conversation arose after Rob revealed he wanted to run one, its not like one of us just snap said 'I bet you can't run a HU tourney...' randomly.

"I can run a completely unpractical, expensive tournament and convince 64 people to play" - this was our view of the claim and the sole reason behind us booking a financial wager!

@TightEnd

as things stand most definitely not as I'm refusing to entertain the notion that the bet is 'off' because of any attempted reason given

@smashed

Rob's accomplishments with dtd aren't being questioned here at all, and just because he has helped the industry I make my living in shouldn't result in myself and the other guys feeling obliged to let this issue settle. Fwiw, if Rob acknowledges that the bet we shook hands over is still running (as both parties haven't agreed for it to be stopped) then that would honestly draw a line under it for me and the outcome would settled at the end of the year. If he doesn't, then I can't think of any logical reason behind his persistence on this issue other than petty ego and not wanting to surrender something which is now; for better or for worse, a very public debate. All I know is that I feel pretty cheated over this with things as they stand,

@smashed

A communication breakdown is poor form but isn't unexplainable. What has really disappointed me in all of this is Rob's explanations and excuses/twisting of what was a bet with very simple parameters and then bringing irrelevant factors about his character into this when he could have just emailed me and arranged a chat or something. Instead he sent a ban threat/ultimatum whatever to someone else but myself, when it was also directed at me. I don't think I've been unreasonable at all or have 'spat my dummy out'.

Much appreciated James, cleared a few things up already. Will respond later this evening.

@Simon Galloway, not once did Rob try to make contact with me to confirm the bet, even though I have multiple members of the DTD staff and Rob himself at one point as fb friends iirc. Contact could have easily been made.

An escrow was never mentioned, the bet dialogue went something along the line of Rob confirming he could get 64 players to the club on the same day for a £1k buyin HU tournament before the end of '11 (even jokingly claiming he could fill that with just the contacts off his blackberry). I thought the bet was pretty well defined and would be honoured by those involved, all of whom are known faces within UK poker.

@Rob

I do not see the relevance of posting how much you've loaned people or whatever, and find it strange that you'd want that to be public knowledge in light of your reaction to Cos posting your email; which I'm glad was posted seems I did not receive such a message/it affects me directly. Likewise, how you always honour tournament guarantees etc within your business I find to be irrelevant also. Maybe your emotional state meant that you weren't fit to respond to the email at the time; but you only apologised for the tone, is the ban 'threat' heartfelt?!

As I said in my email to you though, I've always enjoyed playing at DTD, my horses play at the club on an almost weekly basis, and I've always thought you are a straight-up guy who has done a lot to help UK poker. Until you can acknowledge that the bet was as simple as detailed above and that there is no excuse as to why it could be called off, neither my stable or I will be playing at the club though.

Like Dan, I hope and believe you will honour the bet, which I still consider to be active.

We booked a bet for a 64 runner £1k buyin HU tournament to be held at dtd by the end of 2011, which Rob thought he could fill with the contacts from his phone address book iirc. HU tourneys don't have re-entry or whatnot, and the whole idea was that he'd have 64 players down all of which would attend the event on a set day. Hopefully he'll honour it/gamblers code etc. Time is ticking =)

J'adore a big turn donk bet as well, I think he's going to fold a lot of rivers if you donk turn and then bet big/put him in on the end but who knows; you're certainly going to throw someone who grinds these games for a living out of their comfort zone if you start doing stuff like that and the times he does fold the end you can take the pot down and work on developing a really crazy image without showdown. I'm not sure about how good a check raise on the turn is but a check jam is really sexy but totally image and metagame dependent.

Get back at me if you think I'm off my rocker in regards to this, I consider myself a nlh cash fish as it is #notenoughcards
