Obviously. My argument is the "something" it reflects is not all that relevant to the game we play, just as a putt-putt game between Tiger & I would reflect something about our relative skill level which has nothing to do with winning a professional golf tourney. I do like your suggestion that there be some cash on the line because, as I have argued in the past, the game & one's approach to the game changes as the price of poker increases. That of course was part of the thinking behind the heavy-handed challenges I issued to the one whose name will never be written or spoken, even though there would have been much more pressure on yours truly, since I had reached the decision that my only option was to give up the game for good if I lost. That's also why you've never heard me criticize the "use lightly in exotics" approach, even though it is entirely foreign to me. At some levels return of capital becomes a major consideration. But hey, I don't want to rain on anyone's parade. Have the contest & have some fun. When you get down to it, that's what this game is mostly about anyway.
