Don't let it bother you too much Rock and as TK said enjoy the result and take pride/pleasure in that you got through a large field and got to have the chance of dealing.
In Response to Re: WOULD YOU DEAL? : yeah $1799, sigh what a fool ive been. Posted by THEROCK573
You're not a fool. You were tired and wanted it done. It's all understandable. We are just saying what we would do as asked. It's all live and learn mate, and congrats on a fine performance and cash as well.

In Response to Re: WOULD YOU DEAL? : Yes Tikay I did. The factoid is so earth shattering I needed to take a while to come around. Joking aside the stuff about the Hoover Dam is very interesting to me and I plan to visit it this year if and when I make it back to Vegas. Posted by TommyD
You must.
Meanwhile, if you can get the "PBS America" Channel (PBS = Public Broadcasting Service) on Sky, it is in the Documentaries section, they are currently running a lot of Hoover Dam documentaries, & they are excellent.
They also did a Brooklyn Bridge docu last night - one of the best TV Shows I've ever seen.
It's probably a million to one shot, but if you & I find ourselves in Vegas this year, we'll do the Hoover Dam together one day. It is about a 45 minute drive from Vegas, but I could tell you lots of concrete stories on the way.
Player A has 50,000 chips, B has 30,000 chips and C has 20,000. (Total 100,000 chips) Prize funds are 1st place is £5,000, 2nd is £3,000 and 3rd is £2,000. (Total £10,000)
No matter what everyone will get at least £2,000. Therefore three are playing for a split of £4,000. The ratios of the current chipstacks are 5:3:2. Therefore the remaining funds are split in the same way and added to the £2,000 guaranteed minimum.
Player A £4,000, player B, £3,200 and player C £2,800.

Do it, well worth the trip, do the guided tour thing so you get to go all inside it, fascinating place, the cement still isn't completely dry now you know!
Bit of a drive but if you get chance got o the Grand Canyon National Park (not the Skywalk one) too if you've not seen the place before it's amazing, so many other places I could suggest too but we can't eat into too much poker time now.

Jeez, are you guys winding me up?
You mean the concrete is not set yet, it has not fully gone off.

So how quickly does normal cement dry compared to quick drying cement?
I really hate taking - or discussing - deals. The reason I play tournaments is to win them, not to haggle over the cash towards the end of it. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth unfortunately, and I'd rather deals were taken out of the game completely. I'm glad you can't do it on Sky. I appreciate that the money is important to players - as it is to me - but it just dilutes the entire experience and detracts from the game when the financials are brought into it.
I appreciate that there are a lot of deals that go on behind the scenes that we never get to hear about, but if by some stroke of luck I get to the final table of the UKPC and people start talking about splitting the money this way and that, I will not be a part of the conversation. I don't care if I do get a 'good deal' with respect to my chipstack - I'm there to win, and whatever money falls my way - should it do so - is how it is meant to be.
I would start my negotiations saying I will take 1.7k like Tommy has already said and then I would drop to a final price of 1.65k, take it or leave it guys. Congrats on the cash btw Rock!
In Response to Re: WOULD YOU DEAL? : yeah lesson definately learned, im going to find him later anyway and give him some abuse, wont help matters but will make me feel a little bit better!!! Posted by THEROCK573
Yeah that's it, abuse the other person because its his fault. Nothing to do with you not bothering to read the rules/game procedure before playing.

Here's my way of thinking, an example...
Player A has 50,000 chips, B has 30,000 chips and C has 20,000. (Total 100,000 chips)
Prize funds are 1st place is £5,000, 2nd is £3,000 and 3rd is £2,000. (Total £10,000)

Is this fair?
