good deal for you geo imo, dunno how in hell they all agreed to give you the seat. If the deal was 1k each and play for the seat, would you have taken it?

WELL DONE GEO and BEST OF LUCK this week-end!!! At the end of the day, you reached your goal. Nothing wrong with being a 'glass is half full' kinda guy. I find them much happier people over the long run. |

I'd have taken this in your shoes too Geo. Had I been the woman sitting on £130k - no way Jose!

Have to disagree mate- I understand your giving the short stack a helluva lot of extra equity but I think you need to look at it from your own perspective- your guaranteeing basically 3rd place with NO RISK whatsoever. With the blinds so high you could be out in 2 unlucky or badly played hands. your taking 1.5k risk free |

ok at this stage i imagine its 7 and 6 handed, you see this situation online all the time even more so live if 2 tables are talking about a deal! and everyone is playing tight and real scared. this is the perfect time to be raising every pot, u take the blinds 5 times and ur gettin an xtra 90k! at the same time u dont have risk to much 2.5x or 3x bb , the medium stacks cant play back at you without a total monster.
at the very least you have to wait till the short stacks are out and ur at the final.

Hi buddy, don't disagree with you, however it doesn't always work, I posted an example earlier in the thread. In my eyes, I got what I came for and £1k on top. You coming through this week? Geo |
