Default Re: Whats fair?

check your math...

Player with AK gets 100 + (100*.7) = $170 = 56.7% of total
Player with AQ gets 100 + (100*.3) = $130 = 43.3%

total pot is $300. The correct way to figure this split (or in general, a similar split, among n players) is

Money to player i =(1st place money + 2nd + ... + nth place money)* (percent of time player i is expected to win with his hand)

So, for this simple case, the split should be $210 and $90.

If you've been splitting your way, you've been either ripping off, or getting ripped off. [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
