Talk of a chop has now seem to have taken some hold with Lathum still sitting in 2nd chip position

Question for those with more experience here: is it normal for them not to talk about the amounts each will get during this sit out period?

Lathum has about 25% of the available Chips, so he should push for at LEAST 3rd place money

Lathum is advocating at least 1k be left to play for. Frankly this whole depending on PokerStars to show up seems like a silly way to do things. Seems like more discussion could be had as the blinds will go up and then it will become even more of a crapshoot.

And the deal seems to be off with Lathum stealing a blind. It's now the break. If support doesn't show up soon it looks like it'll be poker once more.

Lathum would owe about 5-7.5% of his chop amount to Hands

For those not in the game at the moment: Lathum stole a blind right before the break. He then ended up stealing a second blind attempting to give back the money. The rest of the players are very upset and want Lathum to give the person whose blinds it was the 100k in chips.

Let this be a lesson to never do a chop, much less a five way chop. Hawkeye is whiney bitch.

DOLA -- Which Lathum immeadiately agreed to do and the Poker host is now going to factor into the chop.

FWIW I understand their point of view. We all know Lathum and no he wouldn't cheat anyone, but they don't know him. There are LOTS of people who would try and sneak a few blinds like that.
Clearly to us this was an innocent mistake, but like I said if I had no idea who Lathum was I might be a bit suspicous as well. Last edited by primelord : 03-29-2006 at 10:17 PM. |

Prediction: Hawkeye will whine and only agree to even split. Poker game will resume. Then Lathum can knock him out.

And somewhat poker novice - how exactly did Lathum "unfairly" steal the blind?

I understand what you are saying. But it has been obvious for about 20 minutes that this would be a split based on chip count and a few of these guys will be acting suprised when the numbers come back in. |

I'm not understanding why people would agree to a chop. If you're second place, go for the win.
Then again, I'm a poker novice.

Surprising me and several others a chip count split seems to have been agreed to with Lathum giving the person who he "stole" the blinds from some extra cash.

because there is such a difference in the places. $4K difference between 1st and 2nd, $7300 beween first and fifth. This way, every one doesn't have to worry about one card costing them HUGE amounts of money

It's chopping based on chip count, not evenly.. one way a lot of folks do it is to "gaurantee" everyone the lowest amount left (in this case, $2K for fifth,) and then chop the amount based on the chip status for the rest. I'm surprised Lathum didn't push to leave a certain amount on the table, but the way they were suspicious, I don't think they'd take it
