hey, to all you people who thought i was pussy. [censored] you. i'm not. i'll let you guys know that i believe in my tennis abilities and poker abilities while i know exactly how good i am to not bite off more than i can chew. the reason i wanted to wait was because i know he too is a good tennis player and to give this type of claim seems ridiculous. to put up that much money is even more absurd. So i tried it today with a friend of mine who is also going to be a D1 tennis player next year, and i won (with a slight handicap to compensate for nick's practice...etc..etc) You have unlimited time and are able to put the ball wherever the [censored] you want when you can catch it. i also found a way to throw a sidearm serve that is so low that it's a pain in the ass to return. furthermore, when you throw it you can drophot it and hit angles so much more consistently if you practice it well. my arm did get [censored] tired though, but it was worth it to know that your deal is wack as [censored]. while i can hit angles in tennis, the only shot that i have complete control of is my serve. by catching and throwing, you have complete control of every single shot u can catch because you have virtually unlimited time to set up. with that said, basically every one of your shots becomes a serve as you can control it however u like. the best way for me to beat you would be to blast aces by you, and i know i can't keep that up for three sets.

furthermore BZ and I are [censored] stanford students. you really think we're going rush into this deal without any research? please. while u made a good attempt playing mind games with me, acting weak while we chat and then talking hard on this forum trying to make it hard on me. i read you. that's why you're stuck playing the sngs while we are consistently building our roll.

just trust me, i know now the odds playing him is not good.

and i'm done posting on this thread.

I don't know, dude. You still sound like a pussy to me.

EDIT: Also, Mr. Stanford student, do these two claims match?

Nick, I will use a racquet, you can catch. I'll play you for any amount of money =)

ken,

There's tons of things wrong with your post. I really can't be bothered to point them out. I will however point out that you couldn't have come across as a bigger tool if you had tried.

KAO has rejected the offer to switch, me using the racket and him throwing? Just thought this should be public knowledge.
