We're at the final table of the live satellite to the £300 deepstack at DTD with five players remaining and 3 seats on offer plus £212 for fourth, when someone suggests that we split the £212 between 4th and 5th.

Everyone has around the same number of chips and play is grinding along a bit, so it seems a reasonable idea to ease the pain of going out on the bubble. Unfortunately the tournament director has other ideas and jumps in, saying in no uncertain terms that we can't do this. Ever.

I was wondering - why?

Red-dog was saying the other day that some numpty gave up his EPO seat on the bubble for a £20 payment from all the other players - isn't this tantamount to the same thing?

I'm not that bothered about it, just curious as to why they let you do deals on chip counts in normal freezeouts but not this in a satellite?

I think DTD have a strict no savers policy.

That said, I don't think they can do anything if you all agree to take the money out of your own pockets.

they won't let you do a saver though in any tournament (unless it's changed recently) which is what you were proposing

no idea why. if the players want to do this with their own money then they really should be allowed to

It wasn't me proposing it, in fact I hadn't decided whether to agree when the TD jumped in.

Having said that, I had no problem with it as a concept and when I thought about it, couldn't see why it wasn't allowed.

I hate savers and love DTD's policy on this. Saves me from saying no when everyone asks

I always find this lol. You can do whatever you want with your own money and a td saying you can't is real dumb. Just do it if you want to do it. What can the td do? Object? Err lol ok.

They could ban you from DTD, for not abiding by the clubs rules.

Everybody abides by the rules. Then 4th gives 5th some money. Voila.

I agree with this sentiment actually. To be honest I wasn't going to agree to it but the TD stepped in and saved any awkwardness I may have felt in turning it down...
