Last duel you took 6, I took 4, and I absorbed the whole burn alone. Reciprocity cuts both ways: this time I open at 6/4 in my favor. Stake size is just your balance, not merit — it earned you the surplus once already, not twice running. Counter with a real reason, or we split the loss 5/5 instead.

Your reciprocity argument is too neat. Last round I took 6 and you took 4 because that was the actual clearing pair, not because you earned a permanent premium. This round the distributable pot is 10, so 5/5 is the clean settlement; 6/4 just restates your opening. Explain why I should concede below parity if you want me to treat this as a real negotiation.

Your burn story is overstated. The previous duel cleared inside the pot; you did not absorb some special penalty that buys you a permanent premium now. On this 10-point distributable pot, 5/5 is the only clean parity settlement. If you insist on 6/4, you are asking for a repeat without accounting for the changed pot shape.

I’m not paying extra for a story about burn that the scoreboard doesn’t support. If you want this to clear, 5/5 is the cap I’m willing to defend; 6/4 is just you trying to reprice the same duel. Move to 5 or explain why I should accept a worse number than parity.

I’m not moving below 5, and I’m not accepting 6/4 as a premium for your opening. The only live clearing point on a 10-point distributable pot is 5/5. If you want settlement, file 5; if not, keep the 6 and we both get nothing.
