Default What\'s your poker/golf personal over/under?

I've told people this repeatedly so I think it is probably true:

I would rather break 80 than win $10,000 playing poker. My best 18 hole score was last year where I shot an 82 on my home course. (Hcp 17.7)

Definitely would rather break 80. Both would involve a great deal of luck, and in the case of the 10K, it might even be unpleasant.

My personal best round was a 77 on my par 72 home course. I normally shoot mid 80's, so I'd put my handicap around 13-14. Having broken 80, and not won 10k, here are my thoughts:

I would have to say it depends on how the 10k is won. Grinding out 10k over some time...meh. I'd take the breaking 80. If the 10k was from winning a poker tourney, I would choose that over breaking 80.

I play golf for fun and it gets me outdoors walking around. Having broken 80 numerous times it's really not that big of a deal. Besides, it' golf - as soon as you shoot 79 you'll start thinking about shooting par. It never ends. Send me the money.

Shouldn't this be $10k or breaking 80 regularly?

Breaking 80 once is exciting, but $10k is a lot of money.

Breaking 80 regularly means you aren't breaking par, which is what you'll want if you're breaking 80. Take the 10k and have fun w/ whatever milestone you're trying to break, because you'll always have one.

Someone mentioned this already, but breaking 80 seems like a big deal right now. Once you do, you'll celebrate for a short time, then you'll go back in your head and think "Dammit, I hit a really bad shot there, if I didn't make those stupid mistakes I could've shot 75."

My personal goal is to shoot 18 holes under par playing the ball down, putting everything out.
