Speaking of which, don't **** up like I did. I joined a $20 LL (it was only a $70 sng) with 5 others, 6 total. At the mid-stages a bunch got knocked out in rapid succession. I was tired and not paying much attention, but when it got down to 4 of us, I asked the guy I thought was holding the money if he wanted to chop the LL. He wasn't in the LL and none of the remaining guys were either. So I got screwed out of $120, which isn't the end of the world, but pissed me off on principle.
This is the first time it's ever happened to me. Every other time the money holder made an obvious effort to hand the money over to someone else, but I don't remember even the first guy doing it, so who knows who the guy was that took it. I was in seat 4, which I hate because it hides the most players from my view. It could have been seat 6 or 7.
