DTD Grand Prix 4: €250,000 GTD: FINAL DAY

[Dewi_cool]

If you have a golden chip here just go Mental - no deals

yeah but it obv wont change the dynamic thou  

(see earlier posts for ref)

are you you saying i'm an idiot, if so you are correct

no someone said that the golden chip payouts wouldnt change teh dynamic

oh my bad, it obviously didn't but should have.

What I meant was that one of the Golden Chippers didn't need to get busy too early.  There were 2 v big stacks and 3 stacks much shorter than him at the time (just after they went down to 8 ) and was still a fair bit of play in it for him.  I agree that the short Golden Chipper had nothing to lose, but Ian could afford to carry on playing his game.  Him forcing the dynamic at that point with 3 much shorter stacks would have been a classic mistake imo.

Hi Michelle nice to meet you other day.

Hey Dewi, you too!

well one daryl. I would be very happy with the deal if i had a low stack. Nice guy of tommy to give his share away, although i wouldnt of if i had his chips lol. Sadly it was a long shot for me

Looking at the payouts and the deal with the 20k/40k Blinds and current chip counts, plus 2 GC Winners @ £15k a pop

I think there will be some folk wishing they had gone out to win this after a couple of days of reflection.

4 big's to effectively lock up 4th place?! nice one lads, well played
...although giving away that much with 800k in front of second place is just a tad stupid...but oh well

[paulhouk03]

surely this isnt a fair deal chip leader getting less then the 2nd chip leader.......

i'm at dtd and asked the chip leader why he agreed to such a (quite frankly s**t deal) his answer was........"it's coz i'm nice"................the guy with 4 bigs locking up 4th place was cartwheeling round DTD

Why should they?

It's the players' money, not DTD's. The tournament entry was €60. Maybe, for some of these people, the money means a hell of a lot.

pretty sure u get told this by the td when u final

so its not so unfair

[KarmaDope]

I don't think they do. DTD used to say that all deals could only be done by chipcount, but when the tournaments got bigger and bigger they soon realised that this policy was unfair.

I see deal making as a pretty important part of tournament poker these days high-stakes. It wouldn't surprise me if nearly all the big tourneys were chopped these days - the only difference here is that we report the deal.

[AlexMartin]

romans and marios should probably go google icm. what a farce. superb negotiation from the guy with 4bigs though! and the chippies obv.
