Default Re: Let\'s make a tournament deal--after I bust!

I think there is some serious EV in smaller live-tourneys just from idiot deal-makers/accepters.

But the deals can just be so ridiculous that they make up for that.

3. Same tourney. I get knocked out in 9th and leave. I'm in the elevator later that evening and some guy who was on the rail recognizes me from the final-table. Asks if I heard the deal they made. Evidently, the final 4 players agreed to an even split even though the chip-leader had about 80% of the chips (and the other 3 had even-sized short-stacks).

Prizes were probably something like $4000, $2400, $1700, $1000 . So probably about $2300 cash for each of them.


Because I've played so few tourneys and have already seen deals THIS bad I have to imagine that such things happen ALL the time.

Did they put out a warrant for 4th place's arrest?

He was chillin' like a villain.
