Default I just woke up $8000 richer - brag or beat?

this is my first post in bbv, but I would imagine that some of you are aware that 2+2's own gobboboy recently got second place in the aussie millions for a cool 1M AUD.

he was staked by a bunch of 2+2ers, and when I was sweating him via pokerwire/aim chatroom, there was a bunch of conversation about staking and I remembered a conversation a month ago where he asked if I wanted to buy a piece, and I decided not to even though I knew it was +EV because it's expensive and high variance and I lost 5k staking +EV people in the wcoop. I was pissed when I realized that I just lost out on tens of thousands of dollars, since I easily could have bought 5-10% of him. Beat.

Today I woke up and gobbo imed me:

gobboboy: 1%
gobboboy: =P
Funkii: que
gobboboy: You bought 1% of me in australia.
Funkii: wtf, I did?

gobboboy: [13:54] funkimunki: ehhhhhhhhhhh
[13:55] funkimunki: I guess I'll buy 1%
[13:56] gobbo: really? I was expecting more so it wouldn't be hard to sell the other 4% at the end. =P
[13:56] funkimunki: eh
[13:56] funkimunki: I mean I know it's +EV, but
[13:56] funkimunki: meh
[13:56] funkimunki: if it was at cost I'd buy more
[13:57] gobbo: well I'm worth more than at cost and I'm worth more than what I'm selling at. =P But what ev, you don't need to buy if you don't want to.
[13:58] funkimunki: yeah I'm aware, but like
[13:58] funkimunki: soooooo much variance
Funkii: 25-Dec -110 1% gobbo
Funkii: yesssss
gobboboy: don't be such a tightass in the future, eh? =P

gobboboy: You get $7800 or so.
Funkii: sweet
Funkii: I love you
gobboboy: I'll get the exact amount and send you a check.
Funkii: sounds good
gobboboy: but
gobboboy: 1%
gobboboy: pfft
gobboboy: That's a bad beat.
Funkii: well sorta, except that I was cursing myself for not buying any
Funkii: so this is like a free 8k that I totally did not see coming
Funkii: but yeah, still a beat
gobboboy: BBV post in the works?

cliffnotes: woke up and was told I earned 8k, but with very little effort it could have been 80k. Beat or brag?
