Asian Poker Open - Macau bound

So it looks like there are only two Lamma representatives in Macau this weekend and neither Deadly nor myself will be competing in the main event. We'll both be playing in a US$500 game on the Saturday and a SNG on the Sunday.

As there are a few big names of the poker world in town I may be a railbird for part of the time. I'm also up for a last longest side bet with anyone. I'll put HK$100 on Barry Greenstein. Happy to go with a head to head with someone or indeed we can throw in together to make a winner takes all pot. Anyone?

Also in the last episode of High Stakes Poker we had a situation arise where without revealing too much we had two 'representatives' clash in an all-in pot. The agreed wager was HK$50. Now in this occasion the duelees choose to run the river card three times.
This leaves three possibilities in the event of a 2/1 win for someone.
a) Counts as a felting - payup fella!
b) Loser pays two thirds of fifty dalla is the fair result.
c) It isn't technically a felting so no money is paid.

I think to be fair only people that haven't seen the episode yet can answer. As we live in Hong Kong it is only fair that democracy is not involed in settling this therefore the first person to answer with a) b) or c) can decide the solution which will be adhered to on all other situations.

As for online poker I managed an hour or so last night single tabling 20NL. Taking a break from mutli-tabling worked out well and after dropping 60% of my stack early and buying in for another $20 I managed to work my stack up to just shy of $100 before calling it a night. I did multitable a $4.40 Stars MTT early though and managed to have QQ lose to AA, KK beat AA, managed to somehow accidentally fold QQ in a three way pot that I would have taken down before losing with AK to 55 in a race.

I can't comment so I go for c. Looking at the prop bet suggested I assume you are talking about the $15000 event as I don't know if Barry G is entered in the $2500 event. If that is the case then I will take Joe Hachem vs your offer. $100 on longest in the tourney ok?

Technically the wording was:
"If your player ends up allin against another person's player and you lose then you fork over HK$50"
That is what happened so in the event of noone else commenting I reckon that should be the result.

We'll stick with the original plan...first person to answer though that hasn't seen it.

That's just cobblers. With that wording then no-one will be liable for anything - feltings only i.m.o.

Wahey. Contraversy. I had that wording drawn up by my legal team too.

"Your player" and "you lose" - wording is just not very clear and could lead to a potential legal battle that none of us can afford. Let's settle out of court?
