Wasn't able to go out because of my 2 year old being asleep at home, however I did step outside my house and go watch some fireworks over the Gulf of Mexico

Anyway, a new year so let's get some challenges going. Most points for the year, pretty simple. Willing to take up to 1000 in bets per person. I'd do more, but not sure how many people will want to do it. Was only at 7055 in 2015 so might get a lot of interest.

No post up necessary. Just let me know if you want to, for how much, and I'll quote your post and confirm it.

I'll go for 1000.

**Spacefrog** · 01-01-16, 06:35 AM

Get me 200 of those.

**MillerTime99** · 01-01-16, 12:17 PM

I will do 1k Astro.

**Slanina** · 01-01-16, 01:24 PM

I'm interested in doing 500.

I'll go 1,000, if you post up with Yisman. I'll do the same, when you post up.

Our post ups will serve as bet confirmation.

No post up necessary. You can take the 1k bet if you'd like or hide behind needing to post up. Up to you, but I've been around long enough where no one else seems to have an issue without posting up. Those are the terms, if you are too afraid to take it then please excuse yourself from the thread.

Thanks!

I'll leave it open until to challenges for through January 10th. So plenty of time for people to join. May even extend it, depending on when daily tournaments start back up after the WC.

The post up is for my protection & yours, as you have: 12k+ in outstanding debt, you have gone M.I.A. from site for extended periods of time, & you have some character flaws I'm uncomfortable with quite frankly.

Hide? Afraid? Obviously not the case, as I would post up with the 3rd party as well. So whatever made up issues you have with posting up, it's absolutely ludicrous.

I'm not the least bit concerned if others aren't wise enough to protect their investment. No post up with Yis b4 we play today, will be no bet & confirmation you're chicken shit.

Did I? Was probably joking. Now on the Omaha Hi tables that may be different.

I'm going to stick with challenges from people and no side bets, honestly I don't see me beating Jake but it'll be fun regardless

And I'll send the 1000 to you to cover it in the event I lost.. He won't do it though, guaranteed.

Your proposal was clearly after my 7pm tourney today. But I'll still accept if Astros agrees to a 50pt deduction, so we start challenge even.

Was also before I cashed.. but that's fine, knock 50 off my year end total, no problem.

Good luck!

i suck at poker but would be willing to take jake peavy for 200. when you lose give me 100 and jake 100. but if you win i will give you the 200.We can call it the battle of houston.

Only taking challenges against others, not bets that certain people beat other certain people. Slanina might be interested in that, think he had some of those last year..

If I took those, then would need to do odds. As Jake had 3x more points than me last year. I did miss 7 months of play, but even then I would have still lost to him.

I'd like to bet you 2000 pts to your 1000 pts that you won't win the leaderboard this year.

Confirmed, & DS is on the hook if you don't come through for whatever reason: M.I.A, paying other loans, etc....

ok, you get 3:1 odds for 1000, that you will be in first place on dec. 31, 2016 on the 2016 yearly leaderboard in poker, as it appears on the first page of the poker forum.
please confirm.

I checked out his thread, he wants to bet that he spends 200k in the store this year. Nothing to do with poker.
