What's Your Edge

It's true. I officially owned the almighty Spudt24 of CardRunners fame at poker tonight. He was having a rough night at the tables, so I did what any good friend would do: challenge him to HU at a game neither of us knows how to play.

After experiencing the heartbreak that can only come from realizing PS doesn't spread HU Badugi tables (cash or SNG!), I challenged our protagonist to join me in an 8-man freezeout SNG for the hefty sum of $1+0.20. I immediately got position on him (game select ever, fish?) and proceeded to steamroll the field on my way to netting about $2.80. The guy I got HU with at the end even sat out halfway through the HU match to relieve the pain he felt from the beating being unleashed upon him. I almost feel sorry for him. But that's beside the point.

~20min into our SNG, I decided to up the stakes by issuing a second, concurrent challenge: another $1+.20 SNG, this time a 6-max mixed 8-game SNG. Spud pussed out (obv), but no worries! I took that bitch down like a YouTube video after being served DCMA papers. All in all, I netted around $5.50 for my hour of grueling work. PROOF:

Bahamas tomorrow baby!

I <3 Badugi too!! So much variance it's like playing craps with a 3-fingered man rolling the dice.
