Default Re: Deal Making - is this OK?

Is there a good deal making calculator/software or something out there?

3 way at the end of a $50 / 240 person tourney.
Chips counts are:

Hero: 396048
Player A: 146768
Player B: 177184

Prizes:
1st - $3,240
2nd - $1,956
3rd - $1,080

Hero made a deal for $3,100 and the other two each got $1,588.

How can I deal if this deal was +EV? Was it? I thought it was.

You had 55% of the chips in play, and got 2nd place money plus 89% of the difference between 1st and 2nd.

How are people this bad at deal making? I was watching a final table on Stars ($5.50 quadruple shootout) where all 6 people -- including the guy with 2x average stack -- agreed to split the money evenly and leave a couple hundred for 1st. It got down to heads up, the same guy had a 2-1 chip advantage, his opponent offered to split the $200 evenly, and he accepted.

Yeah, you got a sweet deal, nicely done.

The beneficial deal making for a big stack is to do a chip count deal. There are other threads out there on how to do this - search for deal making/chopping
