Default Act II deal.

Three handed in an Act II....Two of you will go on to play in another Act II and the winner gets a seat in the Act III supersatellite, for a seat in the Foxwoods 10K WPF/WPT main event.

You have 6K in chips, your opponents each have 2K. The blinds are 200/400. Impetuously, you offer each opponent $100 for the seat, they counter with $150 and you quickly settle on $125.

Did you short change yourself in this deal?

And fwiw, they had 126 players, with 12 getting a seat, 4 or so getting freerols into another ACT III and 18th getting $850 or so.

Can anyone comment on the merits of the deal I made in the Act II?

Seems pretty easy to calculate, then. There's 1350 in the prize pool (seat + Act II's worth 150 each) and you have 60% of the chips. 60% of the pool is $810, and the other two stacks have 40%, or $540. You gave them $550 total (their Act II seats + 250). Given that you will win less than 60% of the time, the deal is fine.

[You could do the ICM count for a 3 way deal to be more precise, but it doesn't really matter much with this breakdown.]
