Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

So I'm at work today and browsing 2+2 when my boss comes in my office. Before I can make an excuse as to why Im not doing work he say's

"So your trying to improve your game?"
ME-"haha yes sir something like that"
Him-"Good you need to!"

Now Ive played poker with this man about 5 times at his house. 200NL and everyone plays EVERY hand. Literally. If I have aces I raise to 25$ and EVERYONE calls. That kind of game. Which can be frustrating to play, so overall Im probably a slight winner (note while playing everyone gets completely trashed"

So basically I end up saying that he is a huge fish (very politely of course) And Im a million times better than he will ever be.

He challenges me to a HU SNG for our paychecks. Now I make around 1500 a week. Im pretty sure he makes 4 or 5 times that. I tell him I will think about it.I dont have a whole lot of HU experience especially for this much.

No obviously this is hugely +EV for me. I have a huge edge and without some total disaster Im sure I will dominate. However If I do lose three things will happen.

1)I will be on serious life tilt and may possibly berate my boss

2) He will gloat at work which will be really annoying

3) Although I wouldnt be hurt bad financially this will be for WAY more (about 15X more) than Ive ever played for. And will set me back a little bit.

SO BBV What should I do?

Play him....

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

but what if you win ?

1) your boss will be on serious life tilt and may possibly berate you
2) you will gloat at work which will be really annoying for him
3) Although your boss wont be hurt bad financially this will be for WAY more than he has ever played before. It will hardly set him back a bit

4) he will challenge you for higher stakes where he might respect your raises.



GO FOR IT LDO

Where the hell do you work? That's my first question before I can give a srs response

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

I am your boss.

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

Play for the love of god. He's laying you 4 : 1 on a HU freezeout right? Play every week if possible. The chance of you being down after a month is very low.

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

If this is a real situation I can't imagine not playing.

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

but what if you refuse to play?

1) you will be on serious life tilt, afraid to play a donk HU, and may possibly cut yourself
2) he will gloat at work which will be really annoying for you
3) Although you wont be hurt bad financially this will be for WAY more than you have ever won before. It would set you forward a fair bit.
4) He will challenge you for lower stakes where he might laugh at your raises, call with bottom pair, and suck out.

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

It's probably not a great idea career-wise. Either you get doomswitched and he wins and you feel like sh*t or you go robusto and he resents you.

Better to keep things calm at work, I think.

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

Ban for sure if you do not play. Find your balls and gl sir.

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

Coinflip for it.

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

definitely play

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

so are you getting 4:1 or 1:1

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

It sounds like a very bad idea unless your boss is very very very cool.

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

dude if u work at a legit place, do not play him

if you are working at mcdonalds and have no career path thru this job, play him and take his money.

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

Where do you work, what do you do, and can I have a job once he fires you for busting his sorry 4:1 ass?

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

If you are in doubt, never play poker again!

If you just wanted to tell a good story and get some love, come here you, crazy charmer, you.

(Play him and trip report us plz)

play him and post pics of aftermath

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

Play during office hours obv.

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

WOW THIS IS SO [censored] OBVIOUS:
find a secret stake, ldo.

If it's legitimately 4:1, it shouldn't be too hard to convince some people to invest in you. Even if it's 1:1 it might not be too hard to convince people.

Also practice online hu $5 sngs for or whatever.

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

I think its prolly bad for my carerr long run. If I can convince him to play me when hes out of country, ill pay someone respectable to play him on my account.

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

So he's talking about playing online, not live?

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

um. at 4:1 u could get a retard to just shove every hand AI pre. chances are you'll end up taking a 3:2 flip or so. even running 72o into AA isnt really a disaster here

factor in that i assume u are better than your boss, play every day

So, your boss knows what 2+2 is and it's pretty likely that he's browsing the forums now and then?

FYP

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

again....

is this 4:1?

If so find a stake.

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

first thing first, who is the girl in your avatar.

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

you play him he loses. He is on life tilt after that and loses all his money to you. He kills himself. You get his job

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

How do you have like 500 posts on this forum and still manage to start this thread?

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

Well, there's three possible outcomes here:

1 - If you decline, he will think of you as an [censored] and a [censored] pussy. He will also fire you because you're browsing poker forums when you should be working.

2 - If you accept and lose, he will think of you as a sucker and you will have worked and entire month for nothing. He will also offer you a rematch.

3- If you accept and win, you will be fired.


Obviously, 2 will have to be repeated until 1 or 3 are achieved.

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

this can not end well....

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

play him but don't rub it in his face so you don't lose your job and possibly get a rematch

Re: Play my boss HU for Paychecks?
 

I don't think your boss was serious about the offer. And this was obviously not a smart move on your part without a bigger plan.

That said, i wish i knew you well enough to buy some of your action.
