Full Tilt - Lets do a deal!

Loving the new option on FTP. You can make a deal with the other players at anytime to split the prize pool. I was in a 5$ SNG and was offering the deal with 4 players left, the others were up for it apart from shortstacker who had most to gain, though maybe he had chat off or something.

Anyway, once we got him out of the way we did the deal. The client works out the payouts based on stack sizes down to the cents (though you can customize the deals too). I was in bad shape with 2100 while the other two guys both had roughly 5.5K. The payouts worked out that I got roughly 11.50 and the other guys 16.75. So I got more than the 3rd place payout and they both got more than the 2nd place payout and I think everyone was happy. I think this will change SNGs for good and I`m all for it .

interesting new feature

glad it worked out good for you thanks for sharing this info

i also noticed this today when i was playing yet to use but it could be intresting in tourneys to use it

noticed it tonight after the update. pretty cool...i will accept the first offer no matter what just to utilize it, hahaha

I have not had the chance to try the new features yet ....could be 'cause its been a few days since I was on Full tilt .....I'll have to log in and get the update an check it out....tomorrow....is it only in sit 'n go or also in tourny (final table)play as well?

Sounds interesting - will it stop people playing for 1st place in these small SNGs?

Wow. I hadn't heard about his feature. Interesting.
I'm all for adding options to S&G's.

Ahh was wondering what that did but didnt dare click it lol. Didn't some thing used to be in its place tho im sure there used to be 3 things there before?

Nice new feature. I've used it on other sites, and it was not only for sit n gos, but muti-table tourneys as well. I've found that there is usually one or two holdouts, though. If everyone agrees, it's a fair way to split the pool and shorten the game.

It seems like a good feature.
Definitely better than having someone promise to sent you a share and wondering if they'll keep their word.

This is an intresting feature, how does this change the way sngs are played do you think?

Weak players likely chop it up,strong players probably play it out imo

You got me to join a game just to try out this feature... ended up losing before I had a chance...
but still very nice new feature, thanks for letting me know about it.
Kind of gives the game a more homey feeling I think...

the only thing thats making me mad is i accepted my bonus they gave me and now its not showing up on my promotional page..

Sometimes it does this to me....?

But when i load up the promotional page again its there...

I don't know if it's good or bad cuz I haven't tried out yet... but I think is a good step cuz it imitates a little more what can happen in real life

I think is a nice improvement and specially useful in tourney when ppl have been playing for like 10 hours and are really tired and with similar chip stack

Wow. I'm impressed. That feature sounds awesome. I want to join a game just to try this feature out.

i have seen this feature, and think it is pretty cool, however i am always in a position to win so i dont need it

Wow this seems like an amazing feature. I would have used it last night in a sit n' go that was deadlocked with 4 people in 3 getting paid out .

i reli like this feature have been on a couple of final tables were me and a couple of people wanted to share but ha2 put trust in each other to sent it via player transfer but this way makes it so much better and easier yayyy lol

I was on the final table in a tourney, and noticed the feature I noticed that someone had clicked it.. and my chat is still banned from full tilt poker so i couldnt ask who it was.. i hope i get to use that feature because You get more money.. I like what full tilt poker has done with the upgrades..

Yea just went back and looked at it... and it has been there the past few times i have looked at it... hopefully it will stay... Does anyone know if we get the happy hour bonus for this bonus?

I've seen the new feature and finally talked the other two playes at a sng into clicking it just so we could see the screen. Two of us didn't really want a deal, so we ultimately didn't do it. But at least got to see it. Looks like a couple of options for payouts. The screen kept popping up and then disappearing. I'll have to go to "help" sometime to work out all the functionality. seems like a good option tho.

I wonder if running it twice, three times, four times, the entire deck is coming next.

Interesting feature. Thanks for sharing the info. I actually self-excluded myself from FullTilt for 14 days (expired today) to try to be more productive and get some much needed work done. I had no idea there was an update and additional features!

^^ agreed!!!

Say no to the chop in the SNG and instead, pound away on the blinds of the player's who wanted a chop, lol.

The feature is available in a 9-plyr. SNG??? This seems hard to believe... hmm..
Seems it was a long time in coming for Fulltilt to add this feature to their site. I too have used it on other sites and thought it was pretty cool (even in a freeroll once, lol).

^^... yah... okay...

I tried to use this feature today to give it a go but I was second in chips when we were heads up. He thought it was confusing and didnt know how to give me the control (or he didnt want to). Ive read how it works so I was keen on splitting the first place $22 and 2nd place $12 in the Sng to 17 and 16 dollars repectively.

How do you convince a player its better to chop?

He was so confused he just pushed cancel and my KK got beat by his JQ first hand. Lucky Dumbazz-people should get a tutorial how to use it so the better players don't get screwed out of that extra 5 dollars (sounds arrogant but everybody knows when they can beat someone).

Do you guys think theres a point at which you just play for first because you're sooo far ahead like 3/4 of the chips? I think if I have a two to 1 lead or more Im gonna play for first.

def an interesting feature, dunno what to think of it
Im always the bubble boy anyways

I would never agree to 'chop' while HeadsUp in a 9-plyr. SNG. Always play for 1st imo. I'd consider chopping if it was a 45-plyr. SNG, headsup with very high blinds, or a large-field MTT,... other than that I'm just going to play it out.

i did it! in a play money game, with full intent of doing it from the start just to do it. i was heads up with the last guy and had 10times more chips than him and he clicked it, woo hoo!

They are trying to keep up with the PS deal feature. Played the 10c 1k guaranteed and made the final table finishing 5th but nobody wanted to deal. maybe its still too new at FT for the players.

It's ggod to make a deal cause you can earn more if you think you can't win the big money prize, but you look always for the first. It's hard but possible.

It's there on one table HU SnG's, believe it or not. LOL, I couldn't believe it when I saw it.
