Do you make a deal when you get to the final table?

[Lol1x1]

Что ты делаешь?

No matter what stack I have, I never make a deal! I try to concentrate and get the most out of my rivals. This increases my experience and the level of the game.

No got to play it all the way though I got to earn it that will make me feel better when I win

 

[valanddon]

NO you played to get there, so play it out and the best person wins.

 

[Steve Deeble]

No I haven’t so far maybe when there are higher stakes involved I will though.

 

[Rob Hobson]

I've never done.

 

[ArmiSoo7]

I did that one time in my life. We where 4 players left, and each took 1000 $ from 3$ buy in tournament, that was big money.

 

[Dukkachat]

Certainly

If the dispute is too close!
Common sense will prevail!

trato en la mesa final

hello. I have made several final tables. and in some I have done deal and in others I have not. always arrange by ICM

 

[Edgerik]

The truth is that I don't like to make any kind of deal in poker, it's a game that needs a lot of study, so why make deals.

I completely agree! I often see deals from players who owe nothing but good luck!

 

[seraxel]

I generally won't initiate a deal but happy to entertain offers. Sometimes (in Vegas, on vacation) just getting the time back can be a valuable consideration vs. playing it out.

 

[budweiser74777]

well, if the stack is small, then I ask you to share it all the time ...

 

[ender0713]

No Never

IM all about going for 1st no matter how big or small your chip stack is! I AMMM for paying The Bubble however. haha:icon_bigs

 

[Luka22guro]

What is the benefit of this deal? As I heard it understood, that is, you divide the prize between yourself somehow agree, or if there are more than 2 of you then you agree among yourself?

 

[Schijtlijster]

A deal? No clue how it works, to be honest. I think you should try to win a tourney at all times. You risk nothing when you win your BI back. So, why a deal?

 

[Edgerik]

That's right :beer:

 

[davidsincara]

As my poker level is not of a finaltable, if 4 left, i'd take the deal

 

[CaptainXL]

I wish ACR had a mechanism for this.

 

[waynaldo009]

No I never have. Might be a good idea sometimes though.

 

[ToddyFrio]

whats good

first post, idk how to use the website.

 

[ToddyFrio]

i have never reached that position

i have never reached a position to make a deal, im learning poker as we speak.

 

[Mr_Nuisance]

The only time I was in a position to make a worthwhile deal was at a live tournament at a local casino near me where there were three of us left. First place was close to $4,000, but it was 3am and the three of us were feeling ready to pack it in. I think I barely had the chip lead, but not by enough to justify playing on. We all had very similar stacks, so the final split was an equal three ways for about $2,700 each. I usually don't cash for that much, so this was definitely a new experience chopping up the prize pool for that much money.

I would recommend, though, that if stacks aren't relatively even, that you should try to plead for an ICM chop, as whatever amount of money you essentially own in chips will be given to you. I did not want to be greedy with the chop that I made as we were all too close to make it worth it to do the math, but if there are short stacks as well as big stacks, it is best to do the ICM chop.

 

[nelomec]

it depends, sometimes I make a deal and sometimes I don't, it varies a lot in the amount of chips that the opponent and I will have,

 

[2x4x]

I never agree again

I made a deal on the scoop on the hand up at the final table 2.20
I regret because I left 50 more for the opponent
drops in 2 lost the scoop medal
it was my best gain I earned 730 dol
