You do realize you just made my point.

It is like someone saying they have a BR of $10K because that is what he has on hand but will stop playing the game altogether if he loses $5K. The reality is his BR was $5K all the time. The rest is just an illusion. Nobody here would argue with that. Just as in your example the same is true about hold. It is a meaningless illusion. If both had the same buy-in. One actually will lose the buy-in while the other will walk away after losing 65% of the buy-in, never putting any more at risk.
