At the Crazy Moose last Saturday, there were 6 of us left and 4 spots were being paid. At the end of the hand, the lone holdout for a split was knocked out. I thought 6 ways was a little crazy, but the buy-in is only $25 and 6 ways would have been $146. Not too shabby. Nonetheless, the guy wouldn't go for it. I really didn't care one way or the other. I'm basically happy when I make the final table.
Right after he got knocked out, blinds went up to 2,000-4,000. I only had 3,000 chips and would be all-in in 2 more hands when my big blind rolled around. I was hoping someone might make an offer to pay 5th money back. Much to my surprise, one of the other players asked about a 5-way split and everyone agreed. $176 each. I was quite frankly flabbergasted. Did they realize how short-chipped I was? Maybe not. I like to think they were afraid I might chip up a bunch and knock them all out - LOL. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
What do you think? Would you make a deal like that with a player who would probably be out in 2 hands?

I think a lot of people would rather take a deal rather than submit to the lottery affect of huge blinds and random results. Plus you inspire fear in their hearts.
