Re: Caesar\'s nightly tourney report (Long)
[ QUOTE ]
I guess it would help if I pose a question...
Does anyone have advice on how to handle the situation where everyone but you wants to chop or make a deal for the "bubble boy"? Should I just quietly refuse, and remain calm about it? Or is it better just to go with the group? In this case, I definitely put myself in a bad situation by alienating the entire table.

I was in a similar position (in the same Caesers' tourney, actually) on Monday night. I had 70K/200K when we got to 9. It only paid 6. Someone brought up a chop, no one else said anything right away so I just said "sorry fellas, I can't do it." Someone asked if that meant no deals at all, and I said "maybe later."
I've never had a problem in this situation, as long as I was polite. Should go without saying that you drop a line here and there about how you'll choke with the big stack now that you wouldn't deal.
