Re: 17 way chop - was it a good decision
[ QUOTE ]
it's not as if this is really a strictly EV-based decision anyway. [/ QUOTE ] Exactly. EV it's an ok chop. But seriously, youre playing a low level donker. Play for fun, and to tune up your game. You'd have to play these every day for weeks or months just to get ahead of the variance caused by all the donkeys, the juice and the escalating blinds to really have an edge. Not to mention, any chop involving 17 players is a freakin joke just on principal alone!

Re: 17 way chop - was it a good decision
Even if you are very risk averse (which you shouldn't be in such a small tournament), there is no reason to agree to a chop in this situation. When you are the lone hold-out to a chop, you have an immense amount of power. It isn't that you decide whether there will be a chop or not, it's that you decide when the chop happens. If everyone is really eager to chop, and you are risk averse, just keep playing very conservatively for a while while other people get knocked out. Basically, play it like a super-satellite. You can accede to the chop whenever your stack gets down below average, and make additional money without ever having a real risk of getting knocked out.
