New Challenge (old Challenge)

It's probably because I still live with my parents, but I don't think the bet is as difficult as everyone is making it out to be, at least not for my lifestyle anyway.

Why the flop check? You need to bet flops like this 100% of the time with a strong hand. Just call the turn as played.

My 2009 goals.visit both tre and matt and get them both drunk and get them to both lose the bet.should be pretty easy.I'll take action on whether or not I accomplish this. Parameters being, if I do it, you pay for my travel expenses.ezgame.AND LOL @ NOT EATING CHIPOTLE FOR A MONTH (edit: lol I meant year, but even a month would drive me mad). I'd give my left nut/first born.- Jordan

Haha Matt, GL with this bet in June and July when all of us are in Vegas for a really, really, really long time.

I'm sure Brad is very happy that Wing Stop wasn't on that list .

To be honest if Matt/Tre keeps this up until the WSOP they deserve some sort of cash bonus

[Acid_Knight 2]

1. As for In-N-Out and Steak n Shake and stuff, they have drive-throughs. They fall into the no-go category.2. If Tre bails out in April and I make it to Oct, yeah, he owes me $2k. LOL at them assuming Tre bails 1st!On a side note:I know that this is a poker forum and people can say whatever they want. Someone linked my gf to this thread and Mike's post for some reason and she's saying that some of my poker friends are assholes and stuff. I really don't need to deal with this and I'm sure that she shouldn't have to either. Make fun of me for whatever you like, but I don't see other people's wives/girlfriends being dragged into those kind of conversations here, so please don't drag mine in either.Thanks.

ok guys, i give matt a lot of crap about his girlfriend but reading over it i think it could come off harsh to someone who's not matt or myself. i give him so much crap because he's retardedly lucky to run so good to have a really cute girl who supports him living the dream while i still die slowly in corporate america. that said, i'm still going to sabotage him in the bet somehow.

This is all I ask.

Bring it on.

i'll post something tonight you can all make fun of me for for a while.

LOL @ this bet .... I think the best way for one of you to win the bet is to move to another country!I've been to the US 5 or 6 times for work, and the prevalence of fast food stores is just amazing .. They are on almost every corner.Also, did I get super lucky? My wife cooks dinner 5-6 nights a week .. and we have a 10 month old son :)Quick point of clarification about the bet ... I understand your Sonic Burger, Whattaburger, Red Robin etcetc are all out .. but what about the chains that actually serve decent food, like Macaroni Grill? Is that still out?This will be very tough to do in the US, with the amount of bad & fast food on offer.

[Acid_Knight 2]

I'm a man of willpower sir. There are plenty of good places to eat here.

To be honest if Matt/Tre keeps this up until the WSOP they deserve some sort of cash bonus

I'm willing to book up to $2,000 more on myself, but I want 3-1 (I'll risk up to $2k to win $6k) from people who aren't involved in the bet. You're betting against my willpower, but relying on my honesty about where I eat, so keep that in mind if and when you wanna bet against me.

[JubilantLankyLad 1,957]

argh, worlds are colliding. i "giggled", but i don't even know either of you two, so, sorry - i guess i can't really beg for a pass based on either of you knowing i was just joking good-naturedly. no offense was meant, though.

Tre can chime in here, but Macaroni Grill is no different than Olive Garden.There are plenty of places to get bad food and that's not really the bet. If he wants to go to a pub and get a burger and fries and 9 beers, he can do that. It just can't be a pub attached to a Burger King.

Rule #1 says it's a bet excluding restaurants, not types of food.OH YEAH, LOL @ Tre driving to go to Sonic. He also told me on AIM today that he has eaten Arby's like 6x this month, which is honestly more than I've eaten that in my life.

I was waiting on this, but with 400 locations nationwide, we definitely are a national chain.Our food is also VERY good, but obv not healthy at all.

Interesting ... that makes the bet slightly easier ...So in "national chains" is somewhere like Starbucks included?
