But benny the cunt you shouldn't be entitled to the winners money (no offence) just because you are winning. If anything you should be happy with $18. I don't see why just because you were chip leader you should be entitled the 1st prize, thats downright disrespectful to your fellow players, the 888PL, your family and the country.

I am not missing the point, I get what you are saying and why you think you should be given more than the $18. A pro-rata payout based on chip stacks is what you feel is owing to you.

But I think at that stage of the tournament, a even split between all remaining is fair.

i suppose this is one of those things where different people will have different opinions. even the sites are differing in the way they handle this situation (it has happened to me on FT and 888 now)

ever played a cash game before?


it wasnt a cash game, it was a buy in tourney. if a cash game dies you keep whatever cash you have so there is no comparisson between the two situations.
I respect the poker gods, I think that's why they are nice to me!!!

If it is in the money, then a pro-rate split based on chip stack is the way to go. But out of the money, there is still far too much chance for position and chip stack change.

For example, there are certian tournaments prior to an FT, I sometimes prefer to not be a chip leader. If a site crashes and pays out based on chip stack, this is unfair to me.

Everyone plays differently and I am not about to give everyone a complete run down of how I play as I play you all online. But at times yes, I am happy to not be a chip leader at a particular stage of a tournament.

Fair enough, everyone plays differently as you say, but I think this might be a slight flaw in your strategy....

Who are you to question how someone else plays? I bet, in fact I know, she has done a lot better than you have at poker and perhaps it is precisely because opponnents think her strategy is flawed when in actual fact it is very effective.

You make me laugh. Nice work on the signature change from "Causing Forum Controversy since 2009" last night BTW.....
