Betting the Ponies
"How's my horse going?" he asked Tahtouh.
"How's my horse going?" Tahtouh responded.
The two discussed the merits of calling another player a "horse" if the swap is only 1%. Finally Assadourian asked Tahtouh if Tahtouh thinks Assadourian is a lucky player.
"Yeah, I'd say so," said Tahtouh.
"Well then I've given you 1% of my luck," replied Assadourian. Tahtouh seemed to like that, suggesting that Assadourian is 70% luckier than average. Both are doing well so far today. Tahtouh has 38,200 and Assadourian has 49,000.
