A $3100 Drawout
I don't want to say too much about this right now because i'm sort of in a state of despair, but I just finished 4th in the $10+R ($35K Gtd.) tourney on pokerstars this afternoon/evening. This is fine and good, and I'll probably be happy in a couple days. But I want to complain now, so let me just explain how a river card cost me $3100.
When we were down to 4 players in the tourney, two of the other players and I were trying to work out a chop and the 4th guy wouldn't agree. He actually sat out supposedly to discuss a deal, then quickly sat back in to take the blinds. He is a dirtbag, and I will probably email pokerstars to see if something can be done about this. But I digress. The other two and I agreed to chop the money using chip equity when he got knocked out, as he was the shortest stack at the table (I had him outchipped by a few hundred thousand).
Sooner or later the short-stack dirtbag moves in from the button with J9s and I wake up with KK in the big blind. I obviously call, the flop comes 567, turn J, river 8 and I'm crippled. I'd like to figure out just how much money that river card cost me.
For starters, the payouts for the top 4 were:
1 -- $11220.00
2 -- $6283.20
3 -- $4039.20
4 -- $2917.20
And the chip counts, had I won that pot, would have been:
lordscythe -- 4240582
cardxfactor -- 1397880
me -- 1404538
Therefore, the respective equity of our three stacks at that point would have been $9033.88, $6249.32, and $6259.19.
I don't know of any ICM (independent chip modelling) calculators that compute tournament equity when you're 4-handed, but my equity is probably something like $3150 when I lose that pot.
So for me this river card cost me roughly 6259.19 - $3150 = $3109.19. So depressing. This is a pretty expensive river when you're bankroll is $6k ($9k now).
I'll post more of the interesting shit from this tourney some other time -- i don't feel like doing it right now.
