No it doesn't. Were you playing for money, and how much? If playing cheap, absolutely not. If you were playing for $100 a game, then you were getting close to an adjustment (5 would probably be the decision point).

Think of it this way, when you adjust, and continually do so, you are adjusting yourself to be a loser. Do you like being a loser? I don't.
(and I don't like breaking even too, my time is valuable, and my talent and experience are worth something on the table.)

I think you're right.

half a game ahead per hour??? Jesus, that could come down to a frozen ball, or a bad kick on a cluster EVERY TWO HOURS!!

If you're both playing hard, and honest, that's a fair game.

I don't favor any adjustment but if he wants to adjust offer 11-7.
