When a Race Isn't a race

I got knocked out at the WPT at the Bike when I had KK and a guy called a big re-raise with A9. When I posted about it on my forum, I called it a race, even though I was over 2-1 favorite. I tend to use this term regardless of the hand match up. I also use it for post flop all-in situations. I do so for lack of a better term.

I asked my readers to come up with a better term for a mismatch situation and got some good answers. I'll do the same here and I'll send whoever comes up with the best answer (one that I can use in future writings) a signed copy of Kill Phil.

Donkey race is my favorite so far.

It is a race, albeit a lopsided one, or more accurately, one where one player has a head start...

But let me think....hmmm

Donkey Race just doesn't do it for me....

Headstart?...meh terrible pls ignore..
HyperRace?
Race ipso Loquitor?

Gee its one bad one after another....maybe thats why we dont commit our chips with ace 9...if there is no good word to describe what you have created, it probably isnt any good...

ummmm....

Potato(e) Sack Race?
