    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!

    thanks m8, as ive said earlier it was my first time of dealing and i didnt realise i could haggle, i thought it was just a take it or leave it deal so i  just accepted as it was early morning. i will now no for next time though and if i get more final tables i will drive a hard bargain :-)

    In Response to Re: WOULD YOU DEAL? : ive never dealt in my life mate, any time if been on final tables on other sites nobodys ever wanted to deal and neither have i so this is my first experience in it, when the administrator came in and offered this deal i said no at first and the 2nd place said " WHAT THATS A GOOD DEAL MAN " i then just thought that if i didnt accept this deal then we had to play on, i didnt realise we could negotiate. i then just said ah fxxx it lets rap it up and agreed to deal. im totally fuming now as i feel conned by the 2nd place guy, dont no why but he was wanting to deal from when we had 7 players left and he had around 1 million chips.

    Congrats on the cash BTW. I know your fuming now but use it in a positive way and get a better deal next time. Im not sure on ICM either, I just look at my chip stack to everyone else and use that to try and get as close to top prize as possible. And now you know to always go high and work a little down on that.

    Also, talking of mixing concrete, & gangsters, there were over 100 fatalaties during construction of the Dam, over a 13 year period. And - are you ready for this? - the last man to die was the son of the first man to die. Spooky stuff...... More concrete stories when time permits.

    I heard that the last man to die actually threw himself into the setting concrete when Tikay was explaining the history and facts about the dam to him.

    In Response to Re: WOULD YOU DEAL? : Sigh, typo.  Too early for me on a Monday, should no turn on PC. I mean $1700 lowest.  Top prize was $1799 right?

    If somebody offered me a deal they must be worried about losing to the better player

    Or they're just trying to level out the variance.

    Obv you can't do deals on Sky but sometimes on Sky the difference between 1st place and 2nd place in the ME is £1000+ and often stacks are so short it comes down to who can win a flip or 40/60. Given that you don't get in them spots that often, it's usually better for you both to lock up an amount better than 2nd place and only flip for a small amount.

    Surprised no-one else has commented on this but that's a ridiculous amount to propose and 2nd and 3rd place would have to be really terrible/bad at maths to accept this. Yes, we have a chip lead but we have far from won the tournament. If the shorty gets one double up from us then we become the shorty. 1500-1550 would be a much more reasonable amount to suggest IMO.

    I would rather shake hands with Geoffrey Osbourne and count my fingers afterwards than deal

    if the money meant something to you then you mite change ur mind on this, i would never normally deal for this sort of money usually but i did on this paticular occasion, if you were on the final table of a turbo for instance and the stacks were really shallow and  the prize money was good you would be mad not to take a deal if it was a good one.

    out of interest on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being bad and 10 being good how do you rate my deal?
