Hypothetical situation, i'd like opinions.

Right, 50/50 seems to be too much (I answered "meh").

Anyways, there was no deal, so you had to make one. He offer about 20%. You accepted. That's your deal! You got 18% which is "about" 20% in my book.

If you are dicontent now, maybe you should have been put more effort in the deal making process?

Last part of the tournament is where it becomes more difficult.

True but it helps to have built a nice stack. At first i thought it said u had a solid aggreement to split, after seeing that i think 20% is fine.

The first leg player assumed he would be liable for half the entry if he lost.

I find this a rather strange assumption to make, based on my experience. I think it's impossible to give a verdict on the situation without knowing the dialog of the (non)-agreement. There would have to have been something very specific said for me to assume I was liable for half the buyin, and this would have a major effect on what should be expected regarding payouts.

As other have said though, you simply shouldn't do it without making a solid agreement, unless you are prepared to play for nothing and just accept any toke that may or may not be offered.

I'd try to get a little more, and unplug his power next time he was just about to get to the bubble with a large stack.

Also, I was hoping this thread was about AA vs. KK for your first hand in the WSOP ... [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I would have come to a decision on the monetary details with him before I had started the tournament.

I assume your pay for those hours was ok in the end, and you learned the lesson to always clarify before making the deal.
