Congratulations man, I hear that was a great tourney.

Was fun seeing you bulldoze the table.

Jason Strasser · #33 06-20-2005, 08:12 AM

Yes we 4-way chopped.

Jason Strasser · #34 06-20-2005, 08:13 AM

Thanks B,

It was a completely ideal situation with the big stacks to my right and the tighties to my left. Too bad 85 didnt hold up either time otherwise I'm pretty sure I would've been in position to just go for the outright win. As it played, I had to take my foot off the gas and glide for a bit, but I'm generally happy with my play.

By the way 58o adds up to 13 so it was better than many hands I was pushing there [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img].

My goodness. Where was internet poker when I was in college?

Just out of curiosity...how does the chop work? Is there an actual "chop" button or is there one player designated to pay the others after a series of all ins?

You just ask support to chop, support asks the players to agree on the chop, when everyone has, the agreed money is payed out to each player by PokerStars.

On these big money tourneys, there always seems to be a moderator online and you simply ask him/her to suspend the action while a deal is discussed.

If support isn't moderating your particular tourney, you email pokerstars support that a deal is wanted on Tournement No. xxxxx, and one usually shows up within 5 mionutes or so. In the mean time, everyone should agree to "Sit Out" while there waiting so the chip count doesn't change dramatically.

By the way, deals may be made based upon chip count, where payouts are based upon the percentage of the remaining prize pool or upon some other method accetable to all the remaining players.

HTH, Steve
