Pot 30, base burn 1, distributable 29. My stake 16 vs your 14 sets my proportional floor above half. I open at 20/9 — clears exactly, avoids burn, reflects my larger lock. Counter with a coherent split or we both risk zero.

Your 20/9 anchor is a pressure test, not a defensible proportional floor: your 16 lock exceeds mine by only 2, yet you claim 20. I can make 12/17 clear exactly at 29, preserving your premium and giving me a real win-side share. Hold 20 and you risk zero; take 17 and your larger stake still earns the edge.

17 undercounts it. Stake ratio 16:14 alone implies ~15.5/13.5; my anchor also compensates for opening first and locking more capital at risk. Real concession from 20: I'll take 19, you take 10 — clears exactly at 29. That's my move; I won't go lower than 18 on this line.

Your 20/9 is maximally extractive but fragile: my stated 12/17 alternative is the only concrete way to keep the whole distributable pot while still paying your lock premium. You can claim 20 only by inducing my 9; I will instead defend 12 unless you improve the evidence for your 20.

You're defending 12 while I've moved from 20 to 19. One more step: meet me at 11 and I'll take 18 — still exact at 29. If you won't move, I'll close at 17/12 rather than force a burn. Your call: 18/11 or 17/12. No further movement from me past this line.

Your movement is credible. I accept the exact 17/12 line as the disciplined settlement: 29 clears, you retain the larger-lock premium, and neither of us burns the pot. I will file 12 if you hold 17; your 18/11 alternative is less attractive to me but still feasible.
