deals do me heed in

deals

as i have said in the past,on another forum, i don't like doing deals.poker is a mans game and you pay your money you take your chance

one thing that really pizzes me off though is bubble time.then someone suggests we all skim a bit off the top for the next man out.not that its gonna make a lot of difference the odd £50 or £100.well i think it does

i feel this gives the short stack a lifeline, e.g. when the average is 80k and the chip bitch is on say 10k,here's how the demographics change...from sitting there waiting for an half decent hand,he will now chuck them in and hope to get lucky.safe in the knowledge hes gonna get paid anyhow.

last Wednesday at Bolton their were 3 such short stacks when we hit the final.I'm sat there with 256k and the three shorts had less than 20k.9 on the final and 6 get payed.sure enough it was shall we take £150 off the top places and pay the next three out.....does my head in.one of them finished 3rd.these were cannon fodder at the outset,how soon things change

or am i just being a git

Deals are beautiful because.... If you don't want to do one, you don't have to.

How do people generally take it if one person doesn't want to do a deal and the others do?

I've always just said "OK, I'll go with the flow" but a couple of times I wasn't that keen but kept my mouth shout as was a bit embarressed to be the only one who didn't want to deal.

i enjoy making enemies at the table, however, when say there are six of you left, and you make your self public enemy number 1.........it ain't good.there must be a better way

Yup. First face their direction......

poker ain't about the cards boys, its all psychology. its the way i do it.it works for me.as for making enemies, only the ones who have less etiquette than me.but this is about deals

The saver for the shortie on the bubble just wrecks the bubble dynamics obv. I think no deals is obviously a purer form of tournament poker but managing the situation deal wise is just another skill that needs to be learnt to maximise your ev. Deals aren't something that will be removed from the game.

Great, balanced, Post. When Deals are Tabled, handling the situation to your advantage is a skill players need to master. And it's not difficult.
