Is £50,000 twice as useful to me as £13,300 right now?

Not convinced either way so I probably just Deal it, but with how generous the prior offers weren't I'd have genuinely had part of my brain thinking the 50p was there and the Banker knew it (even though objectively I know there's an IA and everything!), and I think that might have been the tiebreaker I'd have needed on that one :smt046

Through clenched teeth, I'd have dealt £13,300. Really I'd want 14-15k on that board to confidently say deal, but just a few hundred short of that and a 50/50 chance of losing the lot, realistically I'm dealing.

Lindsey: £17,900 at 3 box.

Given recent offer trends I would've expected a 1k/75k finish to yield a very minimal uplift tand a 10k/75k finish to be a gimme no deal, so I would've treated that offer as the last one!

If those proveout offers are real, £17,900.

(I'm pretty sure they were inflated, and seeing as I'd already have had the box I'd swap for I might well have ended up getting £75k out of that game in reality, though probably more likely something beginning with a 2 at 2-box.)

Conal: Same as him, £1 :(

Would've wanted 6k+ at 5 box and £200+ at 2 box.

2-box Deal for the lulz and because it wasn't a terrible offer objectively either.

5-box was at least worth considering, the earlier ones (as ever, it seems) extremely weren't.

Conal: £1 from the box. 5-box offer wouldn't be good enough for me.

Stephen: £890 at 2 box :|

8 and 5 box offers were fair for the board but I would've chased a five figure 3 box offer.

I honestly would have considered taking the 5-box offer but likely would have played on all the way to £1.

For the second time in a row, all the way to £1.

£890 was genuinely good for the board, but I'd rather risk it than deal and have the 2k in the box.

Honestly I think I escape at 5-box there.

£5k on a £75k/rags 5-box is not something I'd want to turn down thinking I'm box-committed; I'd only be playing for the subsequent offer, which I would not have felt able to trust. Plus, I'm human, I'm sure that run of games would have spooked me at least a tiny bit :smt046
