| | | Not a strategy Q
The other day I was over a friend's apartment, hanging out. I told him I was going to play a $5 sng quick on his account, he said sure. In this situation we're basically at an equal skill level (I'm sure I'm a better poker player, but we're both quite capable of beating the $5 sit and go's). Anyway, I ended up winning the sit and go, and asked for half of the winnings. He refused, and after thinking about it for a while I think we were both wrong- I think I was wrong to ask for half of the winnings but also that he was wrong to not offer them to me.
What do you think, and how would you handle this in either player's situation? |

i'd say you did about 85% of the effort.
i've never played under anyone else's account, so i don't know how i'd handle it. why wouldn't you just log in on your own account at his place? |

He owes you nothing because you didn't have a deal at the start of the SnG.

Be a nice guy, let him keep the money. And suggest that if he's half the man you think he is, he would throw a bone your way by transfer. |

So what if you had lost. Would you have forked over the buy-in money or just have said "oh well - thanks for letting me play"?
Unless you have a definitive agreement, it's his money. He just let you play. Hope you had fun. |
