A chop based on stacks would have been $530 - $320. So he gave you $100 in order to save time and in recognition that you had an edge over him, being sober (or maybe just less wasted) and a better player. A bit more than I think he should have given away, but not outrageous.

Shouldn't it be $680-$170?

If it plays out until the end it's only $600/$250. He figured it by calculating the split of the extra $350 that the winner gets. In other words, both players are guaranteed $250 now, so they are playing heads up for the other $350. 20% of $350 is $70, so with an 80/20 split in chips, it comes out to $280/$70 for the $350 prize difference. Add that to the $250 each is already guaranteed, and you get $530/$320.

Which one do you feel worse about:

1) Offering the drunk a fair deal he has every oppurtunity to reject.

2) Him putting you all in with 39o and busting your pocket 10s?

Well, since 2nd place is $250, you would have to be really drunk to take the short end of that deal.

Re: Unethical to take advantage of a happy drunk?
 

100% a great idea. He offered the deal to someone else and you overhead and asked him and he said yes.

His idea, his drunkenness, his problem.

The other people in the room need to mind their own god damn business. Like they would have turned down the offer.

I would not hesitate to take advantage of a happy drunk. Those guys are so damn annoying at the poker table...

"HAHAHAHAHA. CAN YOU GUYS BELIEVE THIS RUN OF LUCK?!? I CAN'T LOSE!!! I'M SORRY SIR, I SUGGEST YOU FOLD. I AM GOING TO HIT MY 3 OUTER. OK I CALL, WHAT DO YOU GOT? THREE QUEENS? DAMN I HAD KING HIGH. OH WELL NICE HAND."
