@djpie’s swing was so skanky pure from the very start. Well done all around guis.
Right there with you. Would love a 30 second explanation of the pressing. In general I understand the concept, just haven’t done it before.
various interpretations, but, the one i know, press = double or nothing
it seems that when NLU uses press, it just starts a new bet right there in addition.
ex:
you lose hole 1, so you press.
now you are 1 down in bet #1, and AS in bet #2.
win hole 2, opponent presses:
AS in #1, +1 in #2, and AS in #3.
etc… lots of money “flowing”, but lots end up cancelling.

I always heard press starts a new bet from that point.
So yes, it’s double or nothing the first time you press, but after that it gets more complicated than the first double-or-nothing press.

That was what I got out of it.
The game I played in high school/college in my hometown had presses, but it just doubled the points. We never played a Nassau, so that whole world is foreign to me.
(Umbrella - 2 man teams. One point each for low ball, high ball, greenie, birdie, and putts. Same team takes all five it’s an umbrella and counts as ten. We usually played for a quarter a point because that was about all we could afford.)
yea, in my above example, after hole 3, bet #1 is always equal to bet #3, and i’m sure there are other cancellations as it goes out
the “start a new bet now” makes the most sense for multiple-presses (and is the obvious continuation).
Nassau is easy. It’s just 3 bets: front nine, back nine, and overall. A $2 nassau means there’s $6 overall on the line. You could win or lose up to $6. Nassau is basically the easiest bet for novice gamblers.

Okay what’s Nassau and also if @MerchCzar and @Tron take the hole, @djpie and @Soly press, but then Neil and Tron win the next bet, are Neil and Tron +3 on that bet?
bets only resolve at the end, so they would be +2 at the end with one press
edit: i think you can only press the current portion (front or back) of a nassau, no?
Sorry, I meant win the next hole
then they are 2 up on the first bet, and 1 up on the second bet
they’re “up” holes (in the match that the bet represents), not cash
Then what is the function of the “press”?
the press starts the second bet
They’d be +2 on the first bet, +1 on the second bet at that moment.
I’m a big fan of the nassau. I don’t like playing games with a lot of junk bets like wolf hammer (greenie, sandie, etc.)
say you are 1 down through 1. then you press, and WIN the hole. then, you are AS on bet #1, and +1 on bet #2.
you are now up money!

So you can only press when you’re down, though

kind of a dick move to pile it on when you’re up
Function of a press: you go +2 on me. I press. I win the next hole. We half everything after that. You win one bet +1. I win the second bet +1. We’re even, although you won more holes-- because the 2nd bet didn’t include the early holes you won.
