Making a Deal!

[joao_,martins]

I am not sure why this happens in my town but there are rarely deals made, besides of the equal share variety.
Anyhow, I found myself at a FT MTT at my local casino the other night. We got down to 3-handed w/ the blinds 5K-10K.
At that point someone offered a 3 way chop, chopped evenly.
Here are the chip scenearios:

Player 2 90,000
Player 3 70,000

What kind of deal would you accept here? Keep in mind that I was pretty tired and not playing my best at this point, so I was willing to accept less than a standard percentage chop.

Not a chance (chopped evenly) You have more than 50% of the chips vs 2 others. If the total prize pool left was $100, and you are really looking to exit, perhaps something like this:

hero 45
player 2 30
player 3 25

180,000 / 340,000 = .529

You should accept a chop if you get 52.9% of the remaining prize pool.
