Beating Beggie the Beginner |

I played a home game the other night and got beat on a hand by a friend I'll call Beggie.
I had KK and Beggie had 63 off suit. I bet big, Beggie called. I got a bad flop containing a 6. Suffice to say the hand ended with my cowboys only second best to Beggie's 63 off suit (made two pair).
We got talking, Beggie and I, and I was saying that, although he called and won this hand, I thought he played the hand wrong because the flop came giving him only a pair of sixes with two over cards (none of which matched my kk's). Beggie tells me he's just better at poker than me. I told Beggie that it may be possible that he's better, but IMO more likely that he was lucky this hand - and that if he wanted to prove this to me, he'd put his money where his mouth was.
I told Beggie this:
I bet you $25 that if we show five cards at a time (simulating a flop,turn,river) for the rest of the deck (after having dealt the first 5 cards in our hand and to others) that I would win at least 60% of the remaining draws.
We shook and this happned:
1st Hand Beggie Won (as mentioned in the game he won with 6633x beat my KK)
2nd Draw I win
3rd Draw I win
4th Draw I win
5th Draw he won again (caught a straight)
6th Draw I win
7th Draw I win
and we were out of cards, and Beggie was out $25.

Stuff like that happens in our nl game all the time. The players that are used to nickel.dime.quarter games of dealer choice tend to stay in all the time. They usually learn after the third or fourth tournament since they usually go out first.I had one guy that kept this up for three tournaments over three months. It went like this:
lost his ass
lost his ass
kicked our ass
Guess what he will do next time?
