Often in tourneys, once it gets down to 4 or less somebody will suggest a deal (usually one of the lower chip holders). How do you guys figure what is a fair chop?

It's fairly straight forward to figure liklihood to win based on stack %. I.E. if you have half the chips, you're even money to take the top prize -- probably even better than even money. But, how do you account for 2nd, 3rd, etc.

I've usually seen it done based solely on chip % to remaining prize pool. Would you all consider this fair or should the chip leader expect an even larger %age?

This leads another question then, how much is a chip advantage worth? You can usually use a wider range of tactics with a chip lead that you cannot comfortably use with a short stack. What is this extra tactical advantage worth?
