200NL live. Making a 3 way deal due to largeness of pot

[AssFrister]

Why allow the game to run deep stacked if you are going to do this? Why not just agree before hand that once any of you reach $400 you are allowed to take the rest of the table? I mean why sit there with $600 and the other guy $500 etc if you are never gunna use it?

As for the question, I dont think id even be thinking of it in terms of what percentage the pot is of my BR. Assuming I have gone into the game fully rolled for it, as you did, and that I bought in for just one buyin, as you did, its not really a big deal if I lose the pot. On the night I will only be losing one buyin. Nothing. I was fully rolled before the game, I have now lost one buyin, no problem. Im in no danger of being knocked out of the game so why give up expected profit?

Personally id be looking at it as what percentage of a buyin I am giving up in equity. And you gave up nearly half a buyin of equity when you were rolled enough to take the hit. Doesnt make sense to me.

Redgrape, i did miss that.

Like i said if you want to reduce variance just run it 2049203920 times. That does the same thing (stops you losing a huge pot to a bad beat) and isn't -EV

Wow thanks for taking my post trying to the 2p2 community angry maturely, seriously, i didnt make that post expecting a response like that at all.

But i mean how much are opps actually agreeing on this idea?

Well i guess it depends who brought up the deal? If someone else in the hand brought up the suggestion of a deal, then OP could suggest running it 3 times which just cuts down on the variance. It also depends why the other players want to take a deal. If they are taking the deal that actually went down because they realise its in their favour, then maybe thought wouldn't want to run it multiple times (since they don't mind the variance) but if all players took a deal because its a big pot for them, then they probably would run it multiple times.

I have never ran a deal, but if a good friend got into a huge pot and the money meant lots to him, then i would probably run it 3 times if he asked.

[Redgrape]

yeah i would think opps would want to chop here because they need money short term. So the running a bunch of hands would work out both ways i think.

Regrape, $90 is a sh*tload of EV for a 1/2 game. Don't kid yourself.

Why is running it multiple times, "not an option," OP?

[xker17x]

flaming the flamers of the OP makes u just as much of a flamer redgrape

[xker17x]

and a5 is very spot on this is ~half a buy in that ur forfeiting in expected value

[Redgrape]

Yeah, but down to $400 in your bank account as oppossed to having $1660 sucks. I mean, emotionally, is there much of a difference between 1660 and 1750? Probably not at all, so i dont blame OP at all.
But considering the gained equity from essentially putting more money on the table if u have an edge is very +EV. I'm not sure enough to offset the $90, but to offset a lot of it.

Of course, the best idea would've been to run it multipe times.

[Triptanes]

run it all day

If you are chopping this pot you are a degen that is playing under rolled.

lol at handing your friends 1/2 a buyin. The only reasonable situation in which this could possibly be ok is if you think they will be retarded babies and leave the game if they lose.
