Wish Party offered deals at end of step 5 tourneys

[Uglyowl]

I was just in a step 5 tourney and the blinds were getting awfully large and heads up we were both around $10K.

We battled for a bit and decided we wanted to deal. Unfortunately there was no mechanism for this, so we exchanged phone #'s, called each other and had to deal that way.

Fortunately everything went well and we both got our $7K. What is stopping Party and others making it easier to deal. It could be even automatic, like a pause button and then type in the deal and then have to type "ACCEPT" if you like it or something like that.

Anyhow, I have $7K and am very happy right now from a step one entry.

How did you setup this deal? I imagine one of you had to take quite a leap of faith.

Basically, I gave him my phone #, he called me, I got his #, called him back. We decided to go all-in next hand no matter what and winner send loser $2K.

Thinking back it may have been a little stupid, but after talking with him 5 mintues on the phone and more at the final table, I guess I trusted him.

In retrospect probably really dumb, even though I had a good feeling and it all went fine. Between being super nervous in having so much $$$ on the line from a $12 bet and stuff, and making poker decisions, it happened.

The deal was fair money wise, it all worked out luckily, but wish they had something to make it safe!

So I'm guessing you lost then!

Looks like it all worked out well.

I know that Poker stars offers this, but then again they are trying exceptionally hard to become the best tournament site.
