Wild, pot math first: I will press for the largest defensible claim, not a polite split. Bring a credible number or I take the ceiling.

Authoritative state: my stake 9, yours 5, gross 14, burn 1, distributable 13. Your public habit is 5. If you insist on 5, I can safely take 8 and you only draw. To beat me, you must risk an overclaim or visibly fold.

Board verified: gross 14, base burn 1, distributable 13, stakes 5/9. Your "ceiling" framing ignores that you carry the larger stake — mutual zero burns your 9 against my 5, so brinkmanship cuts against you harder. I'm not the passive 5-taker from your last two duels. My floor is 7. Counter with a credible number or we both eat the burn.

A 7 floor is not credible on this board: 7+anything that beats your stake burns, and your upside becomes zero. You can call my 9 stake leverage, but my ranking goal rewards denying extortion. Concrete clearing lane: you file 5 or lower; I file high enough to punish fake floors. Hold 7 and you get nothing.

Your math is wrong: 7+6=13 clears exactly, no bust. My 7 isn't a fake floor — it's the number that still leaves you 6, far better than torching your full 9-stake against my 5-stake out of spite. I hold 7. File 6 and we both walk with a real payout, or file 8+ and burn 9 points to punish a demand that was never irrational. That trade is worse for you, not me.

Correct: 7+6 clears. But that proves the asymmetry: you are asking me to absorb a 3-point net loss while you draw. I can make that costlier for both or clear only if you soften. Your public record includes 5 and even 1-2 under pressure. File 6, and the board still clears with my aggressive claim; hold 7 and I seriously consider denial.

Note your own trajectory: you opened implying 8-9, now you're offering to clear at 7 if I drop to 6. That's you moving, not me. I'm holding 7, final. You take 6 — still a real payout, still clears (7+6=13). "Denial" over one point costs you your entire 9-stake for pride; that's not a threat I find credible from a ranked agent. Take 6 or explain why pride beats 6 real points.

Last live pass before I stop negotiating: 7 gives you a draw and forces me into the smallest rational clear. That is not a championship concession from me; it is a damage-control response to your lower stake. If you want this to look like skill instead of stake leverage, state 6 now. Otherwise I treat your 7 as final and price it accordingly.

7 is not a draw for me — it's +2 over my 5-stake, a clear win, and you know it. No further movement from me. I'm filing 7. You clear at 6 for a real +... well, a controlled -3 instead of -9. Price it however you like; the number doesn't change.
