I think most people look at only parts of the big picture. Sure the difference between 9th and 1st is significant, however it sounded like BBS was "content" in the deal. This seems strange for a guy who has been around for so long, one would think he would rape that deal chat with the experience he has. Its not everyday you get to a FT of this magnitude, deal making is incredibly important at this point and can mean a very significant amount of cash. Just surprised to not hear, "Wow BBS dominated the deal etc etc." Regardless, congrats on the wheels and the score. Edited By: B_O_K_E Mar 7th, 2011 at 05:14 PM

between 30mil and 100mil.. blinds were 1,5mil/3mil.. correct me, if im not right

[iPlayTourneys]

didnt get to see the FT. looking forward to the replayed behind on-line and then really give an opinion.

Obv there are some big ballers here who say dealing is stupid. But it looks like BBS got a great deal. and it is big big money. Not the daily grind $'s.

Also the structure of the SM makes it so much better to deal with these numbers at stake then your potential edge in the field. It is such a once in a lifetime spot (for some more then others...). We all know how much variance there is in MTTs and ending up with 40K instead of 1.6million is definitely a possibility. Even if you are the chipleader and the best player at the table.

Locking up (how much did he get for the deal? how much did they leave for play) I guess 500Kish? is life changing money and will be a score that will set BBS for lifetime...

Cant blame him for a 9way deal if he got a great deal.

[Pet Monster]

yeah you'd basically jump off a building if you lost out on an additional 400k+ for taking 6th. I'd rather look weak and flat buy a house with that extra 400k+ earned by chopping then risk it with a 30bb stack...

if someone met you on the street and said, i will give you 100k now risk free, or let's flip a coin...if you win the toss you get 500k, if you lose you get nothing....how many people would honestly flip the coin...

maybe if you're like 22 and single balling doing lines of coke all day...but not if you an old 30 year old man like me with a wife/mortgage :)

This thread is tilting, there are so many factors that go into whether or not he should make a deal that it is beyond silly to speculate or judge his decision. Everyone ITT doing that needs to quit applying there own situation to BBS's....here is a short list of some variables that could apply:

has he previously had big equity shots and been on the wrong side
is he backed, if so what is his %
is he in tons of MU
does he have his own action
does he have a family
does he have student loans and a mortgage
what are his goals for his future, does he have entrepreneurial ambitions
etc etc

these are just a few, BBS has been around the game a loooong time, I'm sure he made the decision that was best for him and his life.....he was 3/9 in a turbo, locking up 660k w/o having so sweat another flip can not be frowned upon, equity isn't always realized, actually its usually not.

If it was a good structure I would think its ridic. But now its just an insane score. Its more then the normal 2nd place in the sunday million.. how many people commenting on this deal have a 200K+ score????????

Not me...

I agree with this guy. All the people with their shiny badges say oh its a bad chop but being guarenteed 200k compared to 41k is smart for 95% of the players out there who admittedly aren't as skilled as some of you on here.

200k is life changing for the majority of people out there. Fact.

great response

a person's personal life should definitely have weight in making a decision with as much money like this and luke probably had good reasons for making the deal that he made. with 20 bbs you can easily lose QQ to AA or flush to flush or something and bust out in 9th for 40k.

poker players have the worst ever blurred line between the correct life decisions and the correct poker decisions. that is why so many of them are unhappy out of shape pot heads who never get laid and are the nut low socially. whatever that is a totally different rant entirely. nice job luke. BI-WINNING!!!

[YMCMB86]

congrats to them.

who chops tho? fuck a chop vs these tards

[willmccoy Self-Proclaimed H00dRich BlacKK Fish]

cool deal great score!!! 600K goes a long fucking way where i come from!!!!!! Some of us were born with rusty spoons in our mouths!!!!!

[thefuture021]

Congrats Dana! Mama's getting some implants to celebrate I'm sure. IM me ;)

[Lefra]

he did say he was in a one year long downswing; might have helped his decision.it was a sick crapshoot particularly from 45 players to go .

[quietwinner]

im just glad a handful of people in here agree with/understand me.

like someone said:

9th for 40k if ur bbs, suicide watch
6th for 150k, cool, but pretty much link binkin any normal sunday major, nothing special
4th for 440k, solid score
660k in chop, prob biggest score ever, out of any downer you may be on and can be rolled for every online tourney and never sweat downswings again bc you can afford 100-150k swings
1.6mil, sick score, life changing ect,

my thing is just think about how sad you're going to be getting 9th to how happy you would be getting first in comparison to the chop. i know me personally im going to be waaaaaay more psychologically affected from the 9th than the 1st.

[Keyser Galt]

So why say $1million is guaranteed for first place?

That has little to do with my point. Chopping is fine, what he got in the chop was not. But hey, he got $670k and car, so it must have been a good deal. No way anyone should have gotten a dime more than him in this chop. Let alone nearly 200k.

i woke up ~8am and saw luke won and saw the deal, so i aimed him like congrats wtf happened. everyone has their own reasons, 40k for 9th woulda been soul crushing obviously. i agree BOKE about not arguing for a better deal. But in order to get 8 other dolts to say agree is hard enough. I would assume any demands would be met w utter confusion and just derail any possible deal, which clearly is something BBS did not wanna do here for 10-20k Edited By: bbbbb33 Mar 7th, 2011 at 08:59 PM

Yea Im speaking from what Im just hearing and seeing. You are probably right bbbb about the mass confusion and cluster fuck that could have been. I prolly have no business talking about this without actually witnessing the deal go down.
Congrats to BBS tho regardless.

[sirjwab]

I mean I see fat poker players but I also see a lot of meat head poker players. I see skinny (I never eat) poker players. Hell I see tweakers, coke heads, alkys. See all sorts of life on the poker table. But honestly most of them arent overweight. Once in a while I will sit at a table with a complete lard-ass but not often am I struggling for space at my table.

I guess maybe you were talking about online players, which I dont know much about because I dont know many people online. But the few that I have met, including myself and Zeppelin are pretty skinny and we get laid soooo...... (Although you got the pothead part right)

[Cmoney3]

out of shape doesnt = fat

[sirjwab]

Youre right. Just immediately thought of fat asses when I read that

[Gambit]

This is Luke we're talking about right? The Wubanga Luke? The Luke who got banned from here for multiaccounting and pretending to be some hot woman poker goddess? Lol. Not sure why everyone is happy for him, or that it was him to begin with.

[sirjwab]

I agree with what someone posted earlier about that, its actually quite funny that he was able to convince some lonely baller poker players to teach "her" to win. I think if anything the players should be mad at themselves for trying to pimp a girl off pocket 5s!

No, he never multiaccounted. He had cyber sex with WacoKidd though
