WSOP ME chop

Jacen299Jacen299
in General Poker Chat
You've had an incredible run good, smashing thru 7 days to get to the Nov 9, your luck continues to get to heads up for a chance to win 1st place 8 mil+ or runner up 5 mil+. You're about equal in stacks and your opponent suggest a chop. one of you gets to be the official main event champ, bracelet, endorsements, etc, but you get the 2nd place money. The other in the chop gets the first place money.
What do you take if given the choice?

    Play it out

    It's not worth "guaranteeing" being called the champ when EVERYONE that recognizes you will say you didn't win

    Mark

    Mark

    Assume no one finds out about deal. There's been rumours of chops for main event, but nothing really guaranteeing that a chop took place.

    this one's easy for me. i don't want fame. it would probably be the worst thing to ever happen to me. i take first place money and walk.

    I'd have to agree with Mark here and say play it out specifically for the reason he stated. Easy for me to say because I'm extremely confident I'll never be in that position.

    As far as Trigs goes, he's full of BS because he's already famous for being one of Fed's favourite targets of harrassment. Thus....

    FK U TRIGS.

    Take the money, leave the bracelet to the ego maniacs.

    Take the money and fade into obscurity . . .

    I'm an average working Joe who's sitting heads up at the ME for what will be the only time in my life. At that point 5 million is beyond my wildest dreams anyway, another 3 million would just be more icing on the already sweet cake so therefore I make no deals and I play it out and try to earn the title of being champ no holds barred. I'm not celebrity envious by nature but I think I would enjoy a year of being an ambassador for the game and all the perks that come with it.

    first thing I'd do is hold a PFC freeroll ME satty and send 10 of you to the next one :-)

    Don't forget the 30% withholding tax, and you ain't getting it back!

    Huh? Someone said free lunch? I'm in.
  • piggypie123piggypie123
    1st place $, because of the 30% witholding tax. If there wasn't any taxes held then I would go the other way.

    Anyone who doesn't take the extra 3 million just so they can say they beat someone else at a game of cards needs to spend a million dollars of that money on therapy

    Depends what you want......I'm sure as champ if you worked hard (endorsements, etc.)...you could exceed the money difference in short time.

    If you're a lazy phuck like me.....t8 the money.

    My original question in the thread was inspired by wondering what the value on endorsements could add up to. Now I understand your alias. I always read it "T ate your money". Lol sorry.

    I don't recall the show, but no saying if I would be good at it... clearly wouldn't. :)

    Definitely first place money. These days it's hard to get sponsorships, let alone $3million (present value) worth of sponsorships.

    Depends on what companies are sitting there ready to sign you. You tell me WWE wants to throw me on their show for the next 3 years as some rich asshole manager gimmick, essentially a Canadian poker playing Ted Dibiase, then fuck the money, I wanna go to the show!

    If it's Monsanto, I take the big money, follow them outside and see how much of my winnings it takes to kill a CEO of an evil corporation when it's dropped from a penthouse suite onto his head :D
