I don't get this part about the "1x1". Yet for a deal, generally speaking, the way It works, Is that "ICM" comes Into play, so generally It's deter timed by the one with the most chips and than the next and so forth and so on. Also most players (If they feel as If they have an "Edge"), don't go for deals at all. Deals also aren't 9 handed most of the time, It's usually down to like final 4-3, but when the "Prize Pool" Is so great, players generally wish to take deals In that case to reduce the "Variance" of the game.

Assume for a moment, you're at the FT of a huge "Poker-Stars" event and that the first place money paid $1.5 Million, and that you had the largest stack. Once at the FT than you all could ask each-other "If you want to make a deal", since that's life changing money, after talking about the numbers with the "Stars staff", they come up with a number like $1.3 Million, and that you all than play for the remaining $200k+the title, this wouldn't be a bad deal, even though you're technically losing out on $200k, but you than secure $1.3 million (Even If you end up finishing In 9th place), wouldn't you take this deal than?

I guess he means HU by 1x1.

Generally if its more than 2 players looking to make a deal they will often look at ICM and Chip chop numbers (they are the same when HU I do believe). Everyone must agree to the deal being offered in order for it to go through, and generally in any big events there is a mandatory amount that must be left to play for.

In the big events even players who feel they have a big edge may look to make a deal just to lower the variance when there is a big difference in payout between say 1st and 2nd, like say 1 milly for 1st and 600k for 2nd and they are evenish in chips then they might take like 750k each and play off for the additional 100k or something like that.

Yes you can disagree but then you can become the short stack if you keep playing, you need to look at the money on offer in the deal seriously, if you are making a huge profit why would you risk that and have the chance to take the smallest prize.

We play to make a profit.
