6-Way chop??? (kinda long, please vote)
Here is the setting: 50 seat, EXPANDED home game (no longer in a home.)
$75 + $5 (to cover food, drinks, and chair rentals) Have recently changed to a new blind structure (starting at T$1-$2, instead of in the T1,000 range) I realize this is really just a semantic/appearance differece, as long as everyone is on the same stack to start, and same blind schedule. The only importance of this is that the new levels (with some in-between blind levels added) may be responsible for drawing this tourney out longer than anticipated. cutting to the chase, - After about six hours, (they usually last no longer than 5 hours), we were down from 50 to 6 players, all in the money. the payout schedule was:35%, 23%,17%, 12%,8%, 5% As you can guess, EVERYONE CHOPPED - 6 WAYS!!! Everyone got third place money, a handsome return on the $75 +$5 entry fee. The rules state that Chopping is allowed, if all players agree. ( I just never dreamed it would be that many.) Everyone in the side games, including myself at that point, was pretty surprised. I simply put all six envelopes on the final table, told them what 1/6th of the purse was worth, and let THEM divide it up themeslves. A handful of lookers-on, felt they should have been made to play on, to a final two or three before chopping. Part of me sides with this sentiment, as I spend a butt-load of time and energy organizing these things. Part of MY payoff, is watching the inherent excitement that surrounds the final 3-way, and head's up action. Another part of me realizes: 1) It is THEIR money, 2) MY rules permit chopping, if all players agree (the INVOLVED players did) 3) It was 02:00a.m., and it ran longer than expected (probably largely my fault : new blind structure, etc.) Thoughts and votes please, Thanks, doc |
