As long as everyone knows before hand then i cant see the problem. Does take away the opportunity to reduce varience but with Simon mentioning the clock will be rolled back to an average of 50BBs for the 250k guaranteed there should be plenty of play to start with.

How would someone not wanting to deal have anything to do with Karma, what have they done wrong ?
I have made nearly 200 live finals and the amount of times someone refuses a deal then is soon knocked out is unreal. The only people it does not se to happen to are Lawrence Gosney and Alli Mallu. I played some shocking school night comps on Yorkshire where they woul usually chop the final ten ways. One night in Sheffield 88 runners paid ten and with 17 runners left Keith Littlewood wants to chop £11k up Ffs. (and this man was leading the wsop after day 1 one year)

Cold that you ran bad in the other 20 live comps that you've played  Wink

Just thought you where maybe suggesting they where due bad karma for not dealing, obv someone not dealing isn't greedy.

I would've done a deal in Monte Carlo 3 handed but Jack didn't want to, which was obv fair enough and I'd have done the same if I was him. If I thought a deal was good for me I would do it, if not I'd play and try not to be effected by the amount of money at stake. I say try because I don't think anyone can say they wouldn't be effected by it unless they've been in that position. My mentallity for the Monte Carlo was I'd be much more devastated if I played weak and had a chance to win the lot and didn't take it than if I lost a 70/30, or chopped a 97% vs .5% and didn't hold Smiley

Interesting to read the guys comments in the update thread today, congrats to him and it's a great result but I'd hate to have that feeling he seems to have today, that would hurt me much more than a bad beat.

I imagine this is entirely because of the live stream. People wanna see a final played out and they wanna see a winner.

Don't see why they can't allow cash deals but say x% of the prizepool must be left over for the winner.

This and...

Just flatten the payout structure - dilutes the desire to deal.

...this.

Seems silly to include all the 50£ers in this.

They should just have no deals on the flagship streamed events.

Yep...I am with this.

Always a laugh in my local on fts with 10 players and 8 prizes how they want to give 9th and 10th some money which totally ruins the bubble and game dynamic. No deals is the nuts! It's not often you can get muffed for £25k but it sounds like kinda exciting.

If Rob or Simon read this can we have a round of each event sometime please??.

Cheers
