A hand, and a blown deal

[Dentist]

2 things from last night's 30+3 PL on Pokerstars.

1) 3 Handed, you're the chip leader 130,000, other two have approximately 60,000.

On the Button with 99, Blinds 4000-8000
I raise to 23,999
BB raises all in.....
What do you do there??
I called, he showed Queens, and I proceeded to blind off chips and finish 3rd...
I felt like 99 was good enough to go for it with... Someone tell me why I should've folded besides being results oriented.

2) 3 handed before the previous hand happened.
Chip counts - me 119,000
Other two - high 60's.

We start talking deal and one guy says the only way he'd deal is if it was an even split...
1st - 1500 2nd - 1050 3rd - 625
I wanted 1200 and split the rest.

No deal.. then I get SERVED and finish 3rd...

without being results oriented, should I have taken that deal or conceded more??

I thought I could out-play these guys and had too many chips to accept even money...

However... i guess with the blinds so high and stuff...
Arrrghhhhh.

Someone tell me your thinking here
emark?

A standard chip count chop would have had you at about 1175. If you thought you were better than them, its up to you to ask for more. Some pretty crazy deals get agreed to from time to time...

No reason to fold here with the 99's, you only have to call another 36K more, and there is a good chance you ahead. He could make that move with all kinds of hands at this point, many of which you are ahead of.

No way you can take an even deal with the a 2-1-1 advantage. I was just in a tourney last weekend with 4 players and got an even chop for 1700 each. I was the short stack with 58K, the other three had 88K, 80K, and 68K. I was thrilled to take the deal, and can understand where the other three were coming from, as the blinds are high, but I would roll the dice if I were you. If you get doubled up on, then offer it and see if they want to do it when the tables are reversed.
