I won the Saturday afternoon game in Gala for the second week on the trot - 88 runners meant there was £610 up top but after savers and suchlike I got £530.
I made a special point of playing it this week because it seems whenever I get a result anywhere I always follow it up with another result a week later. This is true of both pub and casino games. I'm not sure why it is. I've won 8 tourneys this year in Gala from approximately 50 attempts and 6 of these have involved some kind of back-to-back action.
Alas I am unable to play this Saturday as I have plans.
I have a question to ask about deals though.
When we got to heads up play the blinds were at 8,000/16,000 and the 350,000 chips were split roughly 250,000/100,000 in my favour. The payouts, taking into account a £20 saver for tenth, were £590 & £360. I offered him £60 to walk away and he accepted. I was prepared to offer a little more if he pushed but this wasn't necessary. I figured I was offering him a quarter of the money-in-play and he was just a double up from us flipping stack sizes. Does this seem reasonable?
I would have done the same Tom it's a fair deal. At the end of the day why flip for remaining money. Unless you're uber deepstacked and skill can prevail I always like to do a deal and then play for the glory. You took £520 and he took £420 which was ideal considering he was just one double up away from the chip lead.
ReplyDeleteRight decision imo.
