mrpaddyx 13 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 and after all that the final table did a chop meaning a big drop between the final table and 10th place10th place - 27k9th place - 263kWhich also meant no-one acutally won a million dollars, the most got 844k (with the chop) and finished 4th.

GWCGWC 83 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I'd be tempted to chop HU but I think I would be disappointed in myself if I got that far and didn't play it out for the prize pool. Theoretically that is. I hope I have to make that decision some day. I know they played for the car too but a 9 way chop seems odd to me. Link to post Share on other sites

GWCGWC 83 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I guess it does depend. If the other players made an offer I couldn't refuse then yeah, it becomes -EV to chop. I think 3rd place money in a 9 way chop is right around that too good to refuse point. If you're saying I'd chop so that I minimize the risk of only making 40K vs the guarantee that I make 260K with a chance at a 200K car, you're mistaken. Link to post Share on other sites

rcgs59 15 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Great Game PokerAddict, you too Kobe babyas far as chopping goes I have to agree $260k vs 40K big difference. Oh well it was an experience for sure.gg's all who tried all 60,000 of us lol Link to post Share on other sites
outsider13 0 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Yeah, I can see myself snap taking a deal guaranteeing me 250k vs the possibility of only getting 40k. That is a lot of cheddar when you have 3 kids to feed Link to post Share on other sites
tbrick412 0 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Personally there's no way I couldn't take the deal... i have no idea about the final 9 but if you have absolutely no experience playing for that amount of money or even close I think its close to impossible to play well.

FCP Bob 1,312 Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 Personally there's no way I couldn't take the deal... i have no idea about the final 9 but if you have absolutely no experience playing for that amount of money or even close I think its close to impossible to play well.I agree, I think everybody who posts here would take a reasonable deal. Even if I thought I had an edge which I wouldn't have I wouldn't have risked a large guarantee against the chance of coming in 9th with that amount of money involved and the structure of the payouts and the tourney.

TrueAce13 18 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 lol at not taking the deal when like everyone was effectively 15bbs deep or something Link to post Share on other sites
Poker Addict 0 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 everyone was effectively 15bbs deep or somethingsnap take the deal. It had turned into a shove-a-ment even when I had about an average size stack. I didn't stick around to watch it, but I bet there was not a whole lot of post flop poker at the FT.

FARGOpokerND 22 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Next time, just make sure to have 400mil of the 600mil in play going to the FT...then demand 1.6million and ask if the others wanna play flipsies to determine 40k from 1.1mil or just take their lumps and agree to give me 1st place money.
