    hey guys, interesting scenario came up today.

    after being on a bit of a downswing, i got heads up in a 6.50 90 KO with a player with decent stats... huge positive ROI.

    anyway, he was the chip leader and the blinds were right up there, I had maybe 15BB. we got talking about a chop, and I got to be the deal maker, and organised a chop where I took just over equal prize money... ended up with something like $2 over what he got. that's right, smaller stack got more money.

    is this a fist pump take it every time i can get it kind of scenario? or should i really have played out for first? interested to hear your ideas. ps not sure what he was thinking =\

    What was his stack size relative to yours? I think the only time you can't take this is if you feel like you can outplay him.... DonkInDenial

    it was like 100k to 150k when he agreed to the chop, with blinds at 6k.

    after he agreed to the chop i shoved on him lol, trying to get the highest chop i could.

    didn't matter either way really.
