Re: 17 way chop - was it a good decision
Say you won't chop unless you get $400, which means everyone else will get $230. To them it looks like they are each giving up $10 to get guaranteed money, not realizing that you're making off like a bandit just for being the "lone dissenter".

[/ QUOTE ] This is the exact reason I posted this. After I got home I felt like I had left atleast 200 on the table by not demanding more money to chop. Realistically, everybody probably would have given me $20 a piece.

Blinds 5k/10k, 17 players left, 20 got paid. $25 buy in, Chip leader had around 70k, short stack had about 15, I was sitting around 55k. Decided to chop 17 ways for $240 a piece (4th place money). Was this a good chop? [/ QUOTE ] Total number of chips in play?

Re: 17 way chop - was it a good decision
If you’re going to enter poorly structured tournaments and chop at seventeen, you might as well skip the tournament…imagine you played….pretend you chopped….. enjoy a movie instead.
When folks pressure you to chop early, just state a price or at which (if any) future point you’ll consider it….end of conversation.
