    If he takes this down, hes up around $300k for two tourneys in the last 2-3 weeks. Not too shabby

    I was on that Tanbai's table for 4 hours in the Million -- he was just awful, and kept donking out. Kept calling allins with Ace rag, and sucking out on big pairs. He push reraised with 23, and sucked out on AQ. He pushed with 53, ran into QQ, and flop came 355, turn 5. Really disgusting stuff, over and over again, and his awful record (-69% ROI, a whopping 8% ITM) just shows that that sort of play is consistent for him.

    He's certainly fearless, which is about the only positive thing I can say about his play. He'll call off all his chips with A4 or QJ no problem, and push with any 2 cards. I guess that kind of crazy reckless pays off if you can stay lucky 50 hands in a row.

    ill i can say is kanter deserved 2nd there, im sorry but to play for that amount of cash and to try to get an extra 7k out of a chip count is just greedy.
    and the speel he tried to pull about how hes on P5's and leader of month and how he deserves more money is just a loser in all his glory.
    holding out for 7k when u are up 173k cost him almost 45K
    karma love it

    lol @ karma

    if he's better than the other guy he sure as hell better ask for more money, it's a sin not to. to say he "deserved second" because "to play for that amount of cash and to try to get an extra 7k out of a chip count is just greedy" is absolutely ridiculous.

    I'm not sure what table you were watching, but that's basically what happened. He felt he was a better player and wanted a sweeter deal in the chop because of that. When the other player refused, they played it out.

    are you saying he should've never considered a deal?

    Great Run regardless Aaron.

    I never understood why you guys (well some of you) even agree to a chop if as you said Aaron that you are +EV and the PLB leader and what not. Just because you are the better player doesnt mean your going to win this tourney.. Thats poker. In one single tourney anything can happen. You had a 2 to 1 chip lead.. Poof Gone 99 vs JJ. Does that make you less a player? Basically you cost yourself a good chunk of change and in the end you went out Matusow style. Anyway congrats and good run

    can't really blame him, he seemed to be playing well at the FT and he prolly felt the guy would cave to his demands, tho i thought coming down to 175k was pretty funny

    I didnt think I was asking for too much. I just tried to get what is fair. That is how I do everything, so this should be no different. No offense to him or his playing, but I felt like I should get a little extra.

    I don't typically play HU matches for $110k. I doubt many of you do either... It doesn't matter how much better I am than someone; there is no way in hell I'd ever play them for that much money. We all have different theories on chops, but to say there's no reason to chop if you're plus EV against someone is just silly. You chop because you'd rather play HU for a lesser amount than $110k and are willing to give up some of the potential to lower the variance.

    as for variance wouldnt having a 2-1 chip count be the best time to agree to a chip chop? what more are u going to get really with the blinds so high, even maybe a 3-1 would only net maybe 10k more at the most since second place was offered i think it was 138k? thats only 20k more than second place paid. as variance in chip count/payout cant go down much lower.

    so im sure his best chop was the 173k and play it out for 30k.

    and my point was/is when u have/can secure 173k i just dont see how holding out for 7k is such a great move.
