e) All of the above

But I'd say the most important considerations are the blinds vs. the stack sizes and your skill level. Rising blinds tend to negate skill exponentially as they become a larger percentage of the stacks in play. Granted, there's certainly some skill relating to playing with high blinds, but eventually the pot odds make calling all-ins an elementary decision.


Basically, chip deals tend to favor the big stacks. So, if you're the big stack you should look into a deal, especially if your opponents are close to you in skill or the blinds are huge. Especially do it if your opponents don't know anything about deal making (as they obviously didn't here).

This is what I was hoping to discus here. When your opponents are average players how much is your edge? With Hero having 55% of the chips in play if all 3 players are skill equal he has a 55% chance of wiining. correct? Mabye 70% chance of first with a skill advantage. And how is this calculated? (70% * 1st monies) + (18% * 2nd monies) + (12% * 3rd)

I think my table image at this point contibuted greatly to this deal.
