Message: [QUOTE="PoKeRFoRNiA, post: 6629336, member: 51710"] Rather than the skill edge, blinds were so high by the time it got to late stage. It was roughly 20-40 player tournaments. So by the time we're down to last 3 players including me, when our stacks are even, we only have 4-10 blinds to play with while tournament was roughly 4 - 5 hours long. So we all decide to chop 3 ways. One scenario, we were down to 3 players. Blinds were 40k/80k. This lady had the chip lead of 2:1 and 3:1 against us. She had 700k while both me and other guy had 250k and i had 350k. She chose to split it evenly regardless but other guy rejected. I ended up knocking him out while also crippling the lady. But just because of her generosity while she had a chip lead and i do believe in karma, after knocking out 3rd place and i had 900k and she had 400k, i chose to split it evenly with her. Probably questionable decision but when blinds are so high and also, she was a fun lady to chat with, my emotions dictated me to just split it especially since she was generous to chop in my favor when she had the lead. I was just happy to knock the other guy out that I didnt mind to split it with her. This, not at all. I went to Vegas specifically for poker. So time wasnt an issue. Nope. I know better to keep it all within my range of affordability. But of course, youre asking this because in my case, you would give an input. 3 way even stack, should i have gone for it or better to chop still? 3 way even stack. So definitely everyone is getting their moneys worth. Only that one tournament, i intentionally made a bad chop just because she was generous when she had the chip lead. I know online, its easier to make a decision but in live poker, it seems like its a dick move for some reason if you dont want to chop while stacks are even. Normally i think its because anyone who doesnt want to chop, theyre targetted as someone they wanna knock out. At least thats how i felt when i knocked the guy out who didnt want to chop just because i was short stacked. Moment i knocked him out, it felt like i was dancing on his grave while winning more money. [/QUOTE]
