Hello Onemore,
Sometimes when you get tin large tournaments your opponent will ask if you want to settle the match by splitting the prizepool in some way other than to fight on to the finish.
For example I won the Full Tilt $9000 guarantee tourney last month but at the heads up stage I might have wanted to settle the match early. Total prizepool for first and second was $4500 split $2790 to the winner and $1700 to second. That's a $1000 gap, and at the start of heads up I was the smaller stack with about 1/3 of the chips.
Either of us can offer a deal to the other (you see this more in live games than online) where we go 50:50 or 60:40 on the total pot. Obviously such a deal online requires a lot of trust because there's no guarantee that the other player if you agree he wins will honour the deal. Personally speaking I've never accepted an arranged finish because I'd have been happy with second taking away $1700 having only paid $24 to enter the game. As it happenned I took first for the first time in 4 heads up tourney finishes over the last quarter. I guess it was my time to get lucky at the end - had some nice cards heads up to take the win. |
