Selling yourself off.

esool

$1000 buy in for a 300 player tourney:
If you sell off 10% of yourself before the tourney starts the correct price is $100, but what about after players have been knocked out?
Same deal as above but now someone wants to buy 10% after the field has been cut down from 300 to 150 players left?
Does that mean the buyer should be paying $200 for 10% at that point?
(1/2 the field is eliminated therefore double the price)

Is this math correct and fair for both parties? Blonde fish?

Would be based on chip count numbers imo.

IF your equity in the tournament has doubled to ~$2K at that point, then it is reasonable, e.g., your 5,000 starting stack has doubled around the average of 10,000 chips. Other factors that I would consider if somebody wanted to buy 10% of my equity in the middle of the tournament would include the stack distributions and the skill of the remaining players in my table and the tournament. For example, if I just got moved from a table full of Sharkscope sharks :arghh: where my equity was $2K to a table with eight Fallsview cash game donkeys who "don't respect your raises", :fish: then my equity has become higher than $2K and I would want more than $200.
