    So, were 3 handed and all 25bbs w/ even chip stacks.

    $18k to first
    $11k to 2nd
    $8k to 3rd

    Me and the other player ask to look at the numbers and at least discuss a chop which wouldve GTD all of us at least $12k.

    But NO NO, edc5036 thinks he has an edge and declines..

    I tell you this. LMAO @ you having an edge here, you COMPLETELY got OWNED by arpitm08

    Just another due soul making less than +EV decisions and running ahead of expectation...

    hope to see you at Turning Stone in August

  2. Sunday I was really steamed that PhillyPhan did not want to chop given the shallow structure etc... I since have thought it through and I made a blog post on it.

  3. hey man nice blog but I totally disagree with your thoughts that me not chopping was somehow bad, -EV, or somehow unoptimal for me. Obviously 3handed 20-30BBs deep edges aren't massive, but they're clearly a lot bigger than you think. and I kept silent throughout most of the dealmaking 4handed, when that other dude started insisting on $60 more than chip ratio I just laughed and said fuck it lets play. YOURE the one who was completely desperate to chop and I have every right to say no thank you, let's keep the payouts the same as what they're been the entire time and just play. I wanted 1st so it'd be my #1 score anyway.

    Your OP is full of mistakes too. 1st off 4.3M =/= 3.1M. Not even close. Especially when you're to my right. and LOL @ arpitm08 owning me. Because I r/f vs him a couple hands in a row 3 handed??? Our heads up match lasted about 10 hands and he was begging me to chop throughout the match. Like after this hand to keep him alive:

    You are right. You played well and congrats ^^

    I did think he was outplaying you 4-5 handed, so much so that at one point you had raise/folded to his 3b 7 consecutive times you opened(even below 20bbs once) and some of my friends railing on chat thought you guys may be chip dump/colluding lolz(obv I dont believe that)

    Again, congrats and gl in future :-)
