No need to apologize, not your fault...those guys believe what they need to believe.
Members have a wide latitude to post whatever around here, but deliberately editing quotes to mislead others should be off limits.
Everybody already knew that tewlj is a cocksucker and the ditz is a flake, and now they know that tableplay is a scumbag.

All you are doing is increasing the probability of a winning "session" at the expense of losing more when you do lose. Thus the aggregate loss is the same. There would be no point in pursuing this any further because of this. The only way to come out a winner is to win initially and then to never play again (on a -EV game). The wager to make with you is the aggregate $ amount won over a 1000 "sessions" (with say a million hands played) - not the percentage of "sessions" won or lost.

Since this was explained to you by several people and you ignored the answers, it would be futile to answer you. For new forum members alone I answer this Ron. You could simply use a larger bankroll to achieve your $2500 "session" goal thereby "winning" 85% of your sessions. The sum total of the wins derived from 85% of the "sessions" would be less than the amount lost in the remaining 15% of the "sessions" however. This is why you would never accept a bet based on an absolute dollar amount.
The two above quotes by tableplay put this debate into its proper perspective by telling the flat out truth. Especially for new members and loyal fans of Rob Singer such as slingshot and pahrump pete. Of course some people will not understand or I should say WANT to understand great work when they see it. All of this boils down to this following statement:
No matter how you try you cannot make a negative expectation positive over the long term.
You can disguise it in various forms of betting systems like the Martingale but unfortunately, they will all fail in the long run. The truth hurts sometimes.
