Re: Can you make sidebets for tournament chips?
Anytime you do anything to alter a players stack through other than legitimate means, it affects EVERY player in the tournament. Even seemingly trivial amounts can have a drastic effect on outcomes.
Example:
Say you and I have a sidebet for 100 chips, and I win (It's ALWAYS red after 3 blacks). Shortly after that I call tournadonks bluff with my 74 sooted, and his 66 sucks out on me leaving me with 75 chips.
Fast forward 3 hours, 1 spot until the money, and I'm chipleader due to my superior skill. Shortstack UTG fish pushes into my BB for 13bb on a clear bluff. I look down to see K9 (offsuit, but beggars can't be choosers), and am pretty much pot committed, so I call. This time my K holds up vs his QQ (What was he thinking?), and we're IN THE MONEY BABY!!!11!.
Small 100 chip sidebet.
Big consequences for bubbleboy and his starving family.
