Chopping

[Snatiramas]

shortstacked with AQ I pushed, nothing to see here

The push was fine (actually it was an all-in call).  It was the outcome I objected to!

However, my 'live cards' have since recovered the difference I'm sure!

It was the same tournament as that hand too!

Anyhow, I think it was the memories of that hand that taught you the powers of 93o!  I should be on a percentage of you for that!

If you are the shortstack when the deal is done, always remember that you should get more than the "pure" mathematical value of your chips. On the other hand if you are the chipleader you should be prepared to accept slightly less than the "pure" mathematical value. This is because I believe that there are some implied values that need taking into account.

IMHO of course.

You're right. In a tournament with more than one prize, each chip you win is worth slightly less than the chips you already have.

With £6k to chop 4 ways do you think based on the chip counts that

£3200
£3200
£2000
£2000

Was a fair chop?

Apart from the fact that £1100 has gone missing somewhere.

(NB: I assume the £6k is calculated after allocating everyone 4th place money of £1200).

£400 as a saver for 10th i forgot to add again. Yes all taking 1200 for 4th.

3200 + 3200 + 2000 + 2000 + 400 = £10,800.

The original prize pool quoted was £11,500.

They are generous tippers I hear the Valet took the rest of the week off............
