Default Re: wsop seat deal - giving up too much?

[ QUOTE ]
I got HU at the end of a Pokerstars WSOP shootout. After 3rd place got knocked out, other guy offered me 4k for the seat when he had a chip lead of 7.7k to my 5.7k. I got him to $5k and we agreed. So he gets the 10k wsop seat + 1k cash, I get 5k off him.


My chips = 42% equity.
5k/11k = 45%. So I guess I'm answering my own question. Looks good.


Though I believe I gave up an edge, since he was playing much more passively than I was (thousands of stars turbo SNG's helps there.. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]).

Is my thinking with the 42%/45% on track?

Not quite. Don't you get something for finishing 2nd? Or is this a winner take all? Secured money must be removed before you figure out a chip split deal. However, if you do get something for 2nd, this is an even better deal than you thought. Congrats.
