Default Re: Offer to share the wealth rebuked

So who was being greedy here? Me for not wanting to hand over most of the prize pool to the short stacks, or the kid with the shortstack for whining about me being greedy for only offering him an extra $100?

I think you're letting this whiny twerp get to you. Who cares if you're being "greedy?" You're trying to maximize your EV. Is it "greedy" when you play correct poker in a cash game and try to take your opponents' money? Of course it is, but you're playing poker, not some egalitarian fantasy-game.

If this deal does not increase your expected utility (and it looks like it doesn't), then screw him.
