A guy just went all in first hand and lost with pocket jacks to a guy who flopped his set. What an idiot.

Always call whenever you have a draw, even if it is just a gutshot on a paired/ flushy board.

Buy in every day except Saturday is 30 with one 30 dollar rebuy, plus a dealer appreciation for bonus chips of 5$, so 65$ total. Saturday is 100$ no rebuy with the 5$ appreciation.

top 10-13 make money depending on how many people are in, I think today itll be top 12. Idk how they break it all down but today with how many people are in Id say 12th will make like 112 and first will make like 2k and change.

but when youre down to the final ten, at any point if EVERYBODY agrees you split the pot with however many people are left, so if you split with like.. 6 people left everybody will win 1000$ or so.

every time Ive been in the money weve split with 5-7 people left, but Ive heard about people that just refuse to split so nobody can split

Wait, is the pot split not done on varying %s according to chip stack?

No I mean you said everyone wins $1000 or so. It sounded like an even split which seems very advantageous for the smaller stacks

Yeah but everybody has to agree, so the guy with the biggest stack can just say nah and wait till theres less people so he gets more

I wouldn't chop 5 ways unless everyone is close and there's sharks, and I have a hard rule to never chop if there's someone with 5 big blinds or less. I've refused a few times with 4 left and there's a super short stack, and once the table seemed mad at me. I'm like yo this dude has 3 BBs and I'd never expect anyone to chop with me if I were in that situation. He busted the next hand and we all got more for it.

That's called ICM (independent chip model) and at the higher stake tourneys it can play a factor when people are deciding to chop. But at lower stake buy-ins like this the tourney director generally won't bust out the laptop to break it down, it'll just be a even chop.
