Buying a stack.
What is the appropriate amount (in terms of the percentage of the prize pool) to pay for a stack in a freezout tournament? Assume the following:
There are 5 players and you will be buying the stack of a player that is leaving. The stack is 10% of the total chips in play and is the smallest stack. The payout structure is 1st: 2/3 , 2nd: 1/3. The skill level of all players is approximately the same.

Re: Buying a stack.
Why not auction it off?

Re: Buying a stack.
Assume the following stack sizes:
2500 1400 1400 1000 700 The blinds are currently 25-50. You're buying the 700 stack. What is the theoretical value of the stack?

Re: Buying a stack.
Very complicated problem, all I can do is put a lower limit on it. It's at least worth 2/30 of the prize pool, since if you play just to get first place you should win at least 10% of the time if you are of equal skill.
