How is that???

Not you, the dude who left his stack and forced you guys to play it down with no way to even try to knock him out.

Why wouldn’t it be allowed? It’s his stack and you need unanimous agreement for a deal.

I understand it’s his stack. Then stay and play don’t force everyone to have to play on 2-3 extra hours because we have 2 short stacks at the table who went all in 10 minutes after he left. Nobody is doing a deal with 2 short stacks that have less than 5BB.

If your at a final table it’s ridiculous that you get up and leave. I have never seen or heard of someone just getting up and leaving. Your rewarding someone as he is leaving and jumping payouts and he is not even present

You are funny. Buddy paid his entry fee, just like you did. Those are his chips that he can play however he chooses.

So what if he paid his entry fee. Pay it and play through it. That’s the worst logic I have heard. You paid to have the right to play, not intentionally walk away to move up in payouts

What if he stayed in his seat and folded every hand?

Same result.

Just the comfort level of the other players is improved by their ability to constantly berate him for holding out.

The last time I heard someone complain about this was in online play money SNGs 15 years ago; though granted, the time thing sucks.

Figure out how to use it to your advantage.

We really are not taking about what if. But staying and folding as long as he is on his seat is up to him. You want to sit in a seat and fold for a two hours to move up payouts, we wouldn’t be having this conversation

[QUOTE=suckerbluff;55427996] So what was the final outcome? Did the walker finish 2nd?

As others have already said, they are his chips - he can play or not play as he wants. I don't understand the logic of his leaving the table - but maybe he had some sort of personal emergency come up? Who knows, or cares, really.

What does bother me is your statement here. Why should someone get berated for not wanting to make a deal? Nobody should ever be pressured to make a deal. If he/she doesn't want to make a deal, and wants to play it out, that should be entirely up to the player - free from pressure!

I never said he was berated. He was the one upset that the table would not make a deal. Not the others. Since HE could not get the table to agree he decided to walk away!

What you’re ultimately talking about is etiquette not rules related. You’re obviously entitled to your opinion about how he behaved/whether he should have left, but ultimately he has the right to do it. You have the right to not like it. But there is really no ruling or role for the casino to play here besides blinding him off as provided by the rules. When you enter a tournament consider that even though there are often deals it may have to be played to the end and that may take time. If that’s not agreeable don’t play the tournament.

Question for the sucker(no pun intended):

As you mentioned once the short stacks are eliminated and when he had a healthy stack, what was the issue in agreeing to an ICM Deal.

Were the players waiting for the person missing at the table to give you his conformation?
If the other players did not feel like giving him a share because he was missing and was not entitled then I guess the event played out correctly by blinding him out.

Final table had 2 short stacks. Player who left we will call PL started intentionally speaking with everyone about a chop. A few players said no because we had two very short stacks, very reasonable and nobody was rude. Everyone agrees to play with less than 20 minutes for the next break. During the break Again PL started to try and get everyone at the table to agree to a chop. Which was hard because first place also got a 1,100 seat which nobody wanted, and he pushed that whoever wanted the seat would have to pay 1100, which nobody wanted. So since since we couldn’t agree to a chop he decided to leave.

So PL walked away from the final table, moved up payouts and forced everyone to play to the end.

All sounds reasonable to me.

How is that reasonable? Let a player have a fit, walk off, move up in pay and make everyone stay and play all the way through to the end?


If that sounds reasonable I guess that I know my strategy going forward at Live. Make a final table and walk like he did and move up payouts and handicap a table.

Wouldn't you prefer to win?

what bothers me is if a guy had some kind of personal, maybe family emergency, and didnt want to publicly discuss the emergency as to why he had to leave (why he wanted the deal done immediately) all the people in this thread who by their words and actions are essentially screaming out "screw his family, let them die, this guy MUST sit here and keep playing til he busts or we chop, regardless of what critical reason he might have to have to go immediately"

thats essentially what their implying by insisting he stay and play, or be forced to explain to them his personal business as to why he had to immediately leave and go elsewhere.

He didn’t have a family emergency. Do you think I would be posting because he had to leave for a emergency?

His response was I have to work tomorrow morning and since we aren’t chopping I’m leaving. I can’t make it more clear than all my posts.

This is such a humorous and entertaining story. Pissed off a healthy stack leaves while in the money. I wish more people would do that when I'm at the final table. Sheesh. I dont know what you want to have happened. But your temper tantrum is hilarious.

This is my last comment as I am moving forward. How did we piss off a healthy stack leader.? We had 3 short stacks!!! Anybody who has played enough tournaments knows that you don’t normally chop with the number of short stacks at the final table!!

Temper tantrum? Really? I’m just providing information from all the fake news that people are adding to what really happened.

The only pissed off person left the table. Nobody was rude, nobody insulted anyone. It was a great tournament. Not everybody wants to chop a tournament.
