Default If I was MLG

(...and don't we wish we were, for one brief shining moment)
4 players left, MLG has 3m, the remaining 3 each essentially has 1m. [FWIW Mike has being stealing like one of Fagin's urchins, folding to reraises and showing down stuff that should be going clockwise in a toilet bowl.]

Payout 1st 105; 2nd 63; 3rd 39; 4th 30

I would be pumped with 80k. However, the way things were going I would probably got greedy and said give me 90k you guys split the rest or no deal and lets keep playing [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

This deal was so +MLG. Hard to turn down this lop-sided deal. I am generally in favor of leaving money on table, but with a deal this good...

55-30-30-30 is a pretty stupid option, 4th place was 30K

What exactly was the final deal? If the 82-52-52-52 was a straight chip-count split, from the sound of things he might have gotten away with demanding 88-50-50-50.

A chip count split when you are big chip lead is pretty amazing as it is.

True. And I get the impression it's even more beneficial to the big stack when it's being split 4-ways.

No kidding. What a plonker. Now what would be a good breakdown that leaves something on the table to play for?

I think he got a really good deal, my only problem with it was he could have gotten more. 2 of them were ready to give him 88k. Once I see that if I'm MLG I'm hardcore stubborn, that I don't care what anyone else gets but I want 88k or let's play it out. From watching the action he was running over the table, he could just as easily have run over the deal. And if Ben wanted to hold out for more I have a feeling one of the other 2 would have given him a little extra, it didn't need to come from MLG.

I also think he could have gotten away having them each take 45k him take 80k and played for the rest between 1 and 2 70/30 or so.

Using the Landrum-Burns formula, and rounded off figures, MLG came out at around $84,300.

I was observing the table during the negotiation, and I think he could have gotten an 85/51/51/51 split. There was one tough case (littleben?) but even he seemed like he wanted a deal. They were all afraid of going out 4th, and playing like it, so I'm pretty sure they would have been happy with anything over $50K.

That said, I can't say I wouldn't have taken the same deal in MLG's place. Eventually, there will be some showdowns, and anything can happen then. And if one of them doubles through you, all of a sudden you're not the chip leader anymore.
