I can see your point - entirely - but Geo got what he wanted, & he's happy. To some of us, it's more than just a maths thing.

It is funny how even at the conclusion of poker....the payout....a debate can be had about the significance of the maths. If you judge the merits of my deal in the Vegas example, you may focus purely on the figures. But this would neglect a lot of other stuff. By taking the deal before the final started me and the Mrs. won the TIME to enjoy a great first night in Vegas together...we had a leisurely meal...a wander...and watched the Bellagio fountains in complete contentment. Nikki felt like a "winner" and was happy....even when we got back to the hotel.

Alternatively, I could play on. Nikki gets knocked out 1st hand and waits around for another 4 long hours as the final grinds on. I get bad-beated into 4th...spend the rest of the night moaning about it...all the best steak houses are closed...we argue...we sleep in seperate beds.

Time is a commodity that is difficult to put a value on, but it is still one of several factors that is over-looked in the deal debate.

Mathematically, probably not the correct deal, but not catastrophic seeing that he'll be getting around 3rd prize with 13 left. Not too keen on the "If Geo's happy, then it's a good deal" philosophy. Just because he's happy doesn't make it a good deal, in my opinion. If there's a better decision to make, he could have ended the night even happier. Maybe if you've pumped your last dime into the event and are worried about the risk of going home with nothing, taking the deal is a safe option, but I'm sure if it all goes wrong and he ends up leaving with a few hundred instead, his poker career isn't going to come tumbling down.

Well done Geo & good luck in the ME 

FWIW I tend to agree with Cambo but each to their own I suppose
