scottyno 0 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 obv scared money, wanted to lock up the 130k no matter what Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 And then won it in like 10 hands. If that.160k instead of 200. Hmmm. Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 It looks like the sostandard guy is content with second place and would take any chop just as long as it was a little more than 2nd place money. He either was tired, not that confident in his poker skills compared to the other guy, didn't really care about the money, or a little bit dumb. Link to post Share on other sites

southsidepoker 0 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 yeah I would have at least said "Ok forget it then we will just play it out then" And tried, if you are that scared you can always say ok nvm take 150k if he says lets play. Link to post Share on other sites
Andr4w 0 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Most players who have reached HU in the mill will be so delighted to have won that amount of money they aren't likely to argue for a few K either way if they can guarantee a large chunk for themselves. I bet most recreational players would do the same so don't be too quick to critisize. I say WD GG on the big score for him. Link to post Share on other sites
Snake Plissken 0 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 that is surprising. I checked his stats though, and before he took the mil down he had a 1k profit and usually played the 11+ and 8+ tournaments. It was the first time he ever entered the SM. but still...

James D 0 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Who knows, maybe dropping $7k made him play better for the $30k? After he realized that maybe he'd been weak in the chop deal... And maybe the other guy, in his mind, thought 'great! I've just screwed this chump outta money, I'm so great, he's so weak', and then proceeded to not pay as much attention to the $30k still in the middle, as in his mind he'd already won that battle.Along with the fact that he was clearly happy enough to secure such a big payday.
