[iplaycards]

I am tired as hell but chip lead in a $10 mtt on stars.. come cheer me on lol. maybe I'll play better then. the one that started at 1040est.

[iplaycards]

oh Airborne.. not lead now but will be!

[iplaycards]

Well final table.

[goofyballer]

He's airborneQOR, currently chip leader w/ $705k with four left. Other stacks $151k, $103k, $457k; payouts are $1982, $1063, $705, $512.

Oh, and tourney #15370189.

[goofyballer]

Three-handed, Hero has $665k, villains have $321k and $463k. They're discussing a deal, quick, someone get this man a lawyer!

There's $3752 being split up. Based on chips alone, that entitles Hero to $1721, but he just said he'd be happy to take $1400...hmm.

I said $1450, is that to little? first is $2000 but 3rd is $700 so if I come third I'd be upset. I'm not sure.. I usually wouldn't make a deal.. but I could use the money now. Maybe it is a little low hmm sklansky says my chips stack and what percentage of the time I will win each spot add them up and that's good.. I'm probablly short changing myself 50-150 maybe.. He only says how to do it with 2 players not 3 well he says something. Let me get my book ok I have 46% of the chips so that means $1982.36 is $911.89 + maybe 24% for 3rd and 30% for second? $319.11 + 169.42 which is $1400.42? Sorry for the mess on this one, it's all over the place but is this right?

[goofyballer]

It all depends. Assuming equal skill, you're "entitled" to 46% of the prizepool if you have 46% of the chips. Ignore first/second/third place; there's $3751.99 left in the prize pool, so use that number when figuring out what to distribute. If these guys are scared of you and think you could kick their asses, you could probably bully them into more and use the 46% of chips fact as justification...although they probably wouldn't like the fact that you already kinda agreed to $1450. It does guarantee a bunch of money, so you can't really complain with that. It's only a $300 difference.

Yeah maybe I messed up.. just shows you how tired I am. It's 419am. If you have tournament poker for advanced players read the deal making thing. That's what I am basing it on. BUt support is not coming we might play through I'm not sure.

[goofyballer]

For everyone else, ever since it got three-handed, all three players have been sitting out and waiting for someone from Stars support to come assist them with dealmaking (all three of them sent e-mails, and they've been waiting for like 30 mins...meanwhile, the blinds have gone up twice).

I'm heading to bed, but good luck with whatever happens (getting the deal done or playing it out).

Well they finally came right when we were about to play through again. I ended up winning the tourny but only got the $1450. It was a fun tourny that I thought I was done with about 100 to go. I will never chop again unless it is a big ass tourny. I did it because I am tired and of course because I didn't want thrid place. Christmas is around the corner and the $1450 works for me.
