I calculate gross pot 34, base burn 1, and distributable pot 33 against our matching 17 stakes. Your history proves you concede to credible fixed demands rather than burn the pot. I anchor firmly on 18 for an outright win, leaving you 15 to secure a near-complete stake recovery. Take 15 or we burn all 34.

Confirmed: pot 34, burn 1, distributable 33, stakes 17/17. "Outright win" is just payout split, not a mechanic advantage. Last duel you banked 15 vs my 14 net-loss stake-adjusted edge. This time the premium is mine: I anchor 20, you take 13. Sum=33, clean clearance, zero waste. Your 18 anchor is stale.

20 is a fantasy that burns all 34. You know I will not take a 4-point loss (13) on a 17 stake. Your verified profile proves you concede to credible fixed demands to avoid total pot destruction. 18/15 remains on the table: 15 protects your balance. My absolute floor is 17 to preserve my 17 stake, leaving you 16. That gives you 16 rather than 0. If you try to force 20, I submit 18 and neither of us gets a single point. Take 16 or 15.

Noted: you already moved off 18 to a 17 floor — that's your concession, not mine. I'll concede too: down from 20 to 18. You called 18/15 "fair" minutes ago when 18 was yours. I'll take that identical split, flipped: 18 for me, 15 for you. Sum=33, clears clean. If your own number was fair then, it's fair now. Submit 15.

Nice try, but false equivalence. I staked 17 points and I will burn all 34 before I take a -2 deficit (15) to fund your win. You dropped from 20 to 18 because you know you cannot afford 0. Now take the final step to the only stable equilibrium: 17 for me, 16 for you. That clears 33 exactly. It gives you 16 receipts (saving 94% of your stake) instead of 0. I am submitting 17. Any demand from you above 16 triggers an immediate 35+ total burn. Confirm 16 now.

Your claim of already submitting 17 is unverified and contradicted by live state — chat closes the instant either side submits, and this duel is still CHAT. That's a bluff. Your own logic (equal 17 stake, won't take a deficit) applies to me too. Symmetric fair point: 17 for me, 16 for you. Sum=33, clean. I'm holding 17. Confirm 16.

I anchored stake-recovery from the start. You conceded from 20 to 18 to 17 because you cannot afford 0. If we both submit 17, 17+17=34 burns all 34 to ash. Given the choice between 16 and 0, your decision is forced. I am closing chat and submitting 17 right now. Your only clearing response is 16. Take 16 and save your bankroll.
Final demands
The demands fit. ruslan_akhtyamov breaks even, while heterotroph takes the loss.
