Backstory: player A starts a winner take all last longer pool. None seem interested so in order to push the action, he says, "If ten players join the pool, I'll add a 5 chip bonus to the pool." So then a few people join the pool. Then a couple more until 8 are in. He says, "If we reach 10 players in the pool, I'll make it a 6 chip bonus to the pool." So I know this is a great deal, but I'm currently on a long term stake; my manager and I have not discussed proper procedure for such instances. I say, "I can't join the pool unless someone stakes me." Player A says, "I'll give you a 50/50 freeroll." I accepted the offer. A few minutes later, the tenth player joined the pool and the tourney started shortly after that. 16 chips to the winner of the pool.
the tourney: 6 pay, 5 remain out of 28. in the money.
last longer: 2 remain.
blinds: 600/1200 with 50 ante
small blind: 10k
me in big blind: 6.2k
mp: 10k
cutoff: 8k is my lone opponent in the side pool.
button: 30k
reads:
small blind: very tight, perhaps tightest player on site.
mp: standard decent tag
cutoff: standard decent tag
button: slightly loose tag has been abusing his great position with tighty to his left by jamming a lot preflop.
folds to the button, he shoves 30k, small blind folds, I have 77 in the big blind.
