Is there any standard's on making a deal at the final tourney Table. Is there a standard calculation that the pro's use.

On a side note to Angel, You would not happen to be in the San Diego North County area. ?

Thanks All and Good luck this weekend...

Peace

The management will do a chip count if asked and do all the math for you, breaking down the prize money proportional to chip count, unless someone proposes a different deal. Even after the chip count is done, people often will negotiate something different or reject it altogether.

I think this is the math when it is heads up:

If first place pays 1,000 and second is 600, both players left are guaranteed 600, so they are fighting over the remaining 400. If Player A has 75,000 in chips and Player B has 25,000, they should split the remaining 400 at a 75:25 ratio, as chip counts correlate to chance to win. So Player A gets $600 +(.75 X 400=300), $900, and Player B gets $600 + $100 = $700.

The same principles work roughly the same 3 ways, I think.

if you are the short stack, you should always demand more than you should get proportionally, because your chips are more valuable than his. if i am the large stack, and i can get the other guy to agree to a deal like the one in the previous post, i jump on it. The important concept to remember is that in a tourney, chips have relative value, and are worth a lot more when you are short-stacked.
